PLoS ONE, 2017 Hendra virus is a zoonotic paramyxovirus, which causes severe respiratory and neurological disease in horses and humans. Since 2012, the Hendra virus sub-unit G vaccine has been available for horse vaccination in Australia. Uptake of the vaccine has been

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

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

Integrating Prevention and Response at the Crossroads of Henipavirus Preparedness, Hendra@30 Conference, 2024 [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesDiseases caused by henipaviruses, exemplified by Hendra virus and Nipah virus, pose a serious risk to public health because of their epidemic potential and high case-fatality rates and the paucity of medical countermeasures to mitigate them. In December

Vaccine, 2011 The henipaviruses, Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), are two deadly zoonotic viruses for which no vaccines or therapeutics have yet been approved for human or livestock use. In 14 outbreaks since 1994 HeV has been responsible for multiple fatalities in horses and humans, with all known human infections resulting from close contact with infected

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

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.
