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.

Genome Sequence Conservation of Hendra Virus Isolates during Spillover to Horses, Australia
Bat-to-horse transmission of Hendra virus has occurred at least 14 times. Although clinical signs in horses have differed, genome sequencing has demonstrated little variation among the isolates.

Serologic study of pig-associated viral zoonoses in Laos [PDF]
We conducted a serologic survey of four high-priority pig-associated viral zoonoses, Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), Nipah virus (NiV), and swine influenza virus (SIV), in Laos. We collected blood from pigs at slaughter during

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 ...

The equine Hendra virus vaccine remains a highly effective preventative measure against infection in horses and humans: ‘The imperative to develop a human vaccine for the Hendra virus in Australia’ [PDF]
In their commentary article, ‘The imperative to develop a human vaccine for the Hendra virus in Australia’, Zahoor and Mudie (1) argue the case for a human Hendra virus (HeV) vaccine.

Rescue and characterization of recombinant cedar virus, a non-pathogenic Henipavirus species
Background Hendra virus and Nipah virus are zoonotic viruses that have caused severe to fatal disease in livestock and human populations. The isolation of Cedar virus, a non-pathogenic virus species in the genus Henipavirus, closely-related to the highly

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