Investigation of the climatic and environmental context of Hendra virus spillover events 1994-2010. [PDF]
Hendra virus is a recently emerged bat-borne zoonotic agent with high lethality in horses and humans in Australia. This is a rare disease and the determinants of bat to horse transmission, including the factors that bring these hosts together at critical

Nipah Virus Infection in Bats (Order Chiroptera) in Peninsular Malaysia
Nipah virus, family Paramyxoviridae, caused disease in pigs and humans in peninsular Malaysia in 1998-99. Because Nipah virus appears closely related to Hendra virus, wildlife surveillance focused primarily on pteropid bats (suborder Megachiroptera), a ...

Pandemic potential of henipaviruses
Introduction and purpose. Hendra and Nipah are two highly dangerous zoonotic viruses belonging to the group of henipaviruses. Although they have been known for more than 20 years, no human drug or vaccine has been invented for them.

Functional Analysis of the Fusion and Attachment Glycoproteins of Mojiang Henipavirus
Mojiang virus (MojV) is the first henipavirus identified in a rodent and known only by sequence data, whereas all other henipaviruses have been isolated from bats (Hendra virus, Nipah virus, Cedar virus) or discovered by sequence data from material of ...

Isolation of Hendra virus from pteropid bats: a natural reservoir of Hendra virus
Since it was first described in Australia in 1994, Hendra virus (HeV) has caused two outbreaks of fatal disease in horses and humans, and an isolated fatal horse case. Our preliminary studies revealed a high prevalence of neutralizing antibodies to HeV in bats of the genusPteropus, but it was unclear whether this was due to infection with HeV or a ...
