A recombinant Cedar virus preclinical model that recapitulates neurological features of henipavirus disease [PDF]

iScience
Summary: Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV) are members of the henipavirus genus that cause severe respiratory and/or neurological disease in humans.

Relevance of potential endocytosis motifs in Cedar virus glycoprotein G for its biological activity [PDF]

Journal of Virology
The glycoprotein (G) and fusion protein (F) of henipaviruses play crucial roles in receptor binding and entry into host cells, also enabling virus spread from cell to cell without the release of infectious particles.

Analysis of Recombinant Cedar Virus Infection and Cross-Protection Against Related Henipaviruses in African Green Monkeys [PDF]

Viruses
Cedar virus (CedV), related to the highly pathogenic bat-borne henipaviruses, Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), is non-pathogenic in small animal models, likely due to the inability to produce interferon-antagonist proteins.

Rousettus aegyptiacus Fruit Bats Do Not Support Productive Replication of Cedar Virus upon Experimental Challenge [PDF]

Viruses
Cedar henipavirus (CedV), which was isolated from the urine of pteropodid bats in Australia, belongs to the genus Henipavirus in the family of Paramyxoviridae.

A recombinant Cedar virus based high-throughput screening assay for henipavirus antiviral discovery [PDF]

Antiviral Research, 2021
Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV) are highly pathogenic, bat-borne paramyxoviruses in the genus Henipavirus that cause severe and often fatal acute respiratory and/or neurologic diseases in humans and livestock. There are currently no approved antiviral therapeutics or vaccines for use in humans to treat or prevent NiV or HeV infection.

Structural and functional analyses reveal promiscuous and species specific use of ephrin receptors by Cedar virus [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Cedar virus (CedV) is a bat-borne henipavirus related to Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV), zoonotic agents of fatal human disease. CedV receptor-binding protein (G) shares only ∼30% sequence identity with those of NiV and HeV, although they can all use ephrin-B2 as an entry receptor. We demonstrate that CedV also enters cells through additional

Serologic Evidence of Human Exposure to Bat-Borne Zoonotic Paramyxoviruses, Cambodia [PDF]

Viruses
Fruit bats in the genus Pteropus are the natural reservoirs for zoonotic paramyxoviruses, notably henipaviruses and pararubulaviruses, which are found across Southeast Asia and Oceania.

Trafficking and Activation of Henipavirus, Parahenipavirus, and Henipa-like Virus Fusion Proteins [PDF]

Viruses
Henipaviruses are emerging zoonotic viruses that have caused deadly outbreaks in humans and livestock across several regions of the world. The fusion (F) protein of henipaviruses plays a critical role in viral entry into host cells and represents a key ...

A phase 1 trial of the safety, tolerability and biological effects of intravenous Enadenotucirev, a novel oncolytic virus, in combination with chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer (CEDAR) [PDF]

Radiation Oncology, 2020
Background Chemoradiotherapy remains the standard of care for locally advanced rectal cancer. Efforts to intensify treatment and increase response rates have yet to yield practice changing results due to increased toxicity and/or absence of increased ...

Tetracistronic minigenomes elucidate a functional promoter for Ghana virus and unveils Cedar virus replicase promiscuity for all henipaviruses. [PDF]

J Virol
ABSTRACT Batborne henipaviruses, such as Nipah and Hendra viruses, represent a major threat to global health due to their propensity for spillover, severe pathogenicity, and high mortality rate in human hosts.
