Identifying Hendra virus diversity in pteropid bats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Hendra virus (HeV) causes a zoonotic disease with high mortality that is transmitted to humans from bats of the genus Pteropus (flying foxes) via an intermediary equine host. Factors promoting spillover from bats to horses are uncertain at this time, but

Physiological stress and Hendra virus in flying-foxes (Pteropus spp.), Australia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Pteropid bats (flying-foxes) are the natural reservoir of Hendra virus, an emergent paramyxovirus responsible for fatal infection in horses and humans in Australia. Pteropus alecto (the Black flying-fox) and the paraphyletic P.

A single-cycle recombinant VSV vaccine displaying the Hendra virus glycoprotein uniformly protects against Hendra and Nipah virus challenge [PDF]

npj Vaccines
Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV) are closely related, highly pathogenic paramyxoviruses which cause severe, often fatal disease in humans and animals. There are no approved vaccines to protect humans from HeV or NiV infection, although an ideal vaccine ...

Hendra Virus Infection in Dog, Australia, 2013 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
Hendra virus occasionally causes severe disease in horses and humans. In Australia in 2013, infection was detected in a dog that had been in contact with an infected horse.

Cohorts of immature Pteropus bats show interannual variation in Hendra virus serology. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Pteropus bat with offspring, photo taken by Manuel Ruiz‐Aravena. Abstract Understanding the drivers of seasonal disease outbreaks remains a fundamental challenge in disease ecology. Periodic outbreaks can be driven by several seasonally varying factors, including pulses of susceptible individuals through births, changes in host behaviour and social ...

Recrudescent infection supports Hendra virus persistence in Australian flying-fox populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Zoonoses from wildlife threaten global public health. Hendra virus is one of several zoonotic viral diseases that have recently emerged from Pteropus species fruit-bats (flying-foxes).

Henipavirus sero-surveillance in horses and pigs from Northern Nigeria

Frontiers in Virology, 2022
Hendra virus and Nipah virus are considered to be emerging viruses and cause severe zoonotic diseases, which occur in humans who have had close contact with horses and pigs in Australia and Asia, respectively. Both viruses belong to the genus Henipavirus.

Hendra virus and horse owners--risk perception and management. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Hendra virus is a highly pathogenic novel paramyxovirus causing sporadic fatal infection in horses and humans in Australia. Species of fruit-bats (genus Pteropus), commonly known as flying-foxes, are the natural host of the virus.

Inhibition of Hendra Virus Fusion [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2006
ABSTRACT Hendra virus (HeV) is a recently identified paramyxovirus that is fatal in humans and could be used as an agent of bioterrorism. The HeV receptor-binding protein (G) is required in order for the fusion protein (F) to mediate fusion, and analysis of the triggering/activation of HeV F by G should lead to strategies for interfering with

New insights into the Hendra virus attachment and entry process from structures of the virus G glycoprotein and its complex with Ephrin-B2. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Hendra virus and Nipah virus, comprising the genus Henipavirus, are recently emerged, highly pathogenic and often lethal zoonotic agents against which there are no approved therapeutics.
