A New Model for Hendra Virus Encephalitis in the Mouse
Hendra virus (HeV) infection in humans is characterized by an influenza like illness, which may progress to pneumonia or encephalitis and lead to death. The pathogenesis of HeV infection is poorly understood, and the lack of a mouse model has limited the opportunities for pathogenetic research.

Mapping the Potential Risk of Coronavirus Spillovers in a Global Hotspot
Bats host a vast array of viruses, including those behind SARS and COVID‐19. This study maps coronavirus spillover risk hotspots across South and Southeast Asia by combining horseshoe bat species distributions, forest fragmentation, and human population density.

Human Hendra Virus Encephalitis Associated with Equine Outbreak, Australia, 2008
A recent Hendra virus outbreak at a veterinary clinic in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, involved 5 equine and 2 human infections. In contrast to previous outbreaks, infected horses had predominantly encephalitic, rather than respiratory, signs.

Pathogenesis of Hendra and Nipah virus infection in humans
Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are emerging zoonotic viruses that cause severe and often lethal respiratory illness and encephalitis in humans. Henipaviruses can infect a wide range of species and human-to-human transmission has been observed for NiV.
