ABSTRACT Nipah virus (NiV) is a highly pathogenic zoonotic virus transmitted from bats to humans through pigs as a crucial intermediate host. NiV outbreaks pose significant public health and economic threats, especially for pig farmers. Although the World Organization for Animal Health recommends African green monkey‐derived Vero cells for NiV ...

Hendra virus: what do we know? [PDF]
Hendra virus infection is an emerging infectious disease that is not well understood. Most cases of Hendra virus infection have occurred in Queensland, with one case in a horse in NSW. Hendra virus infection has a high mortality rate in horses and humans and as cases could occur anywhere in Australia it is important to be ready for prompt action should

Spectacled flying‐fox Pteropus conspicillatus populations have declined so seriously over two decades that they are now endangered. Inaction has allowed threats to increase. Extreme heat events are now a lethal reality, habitat loss continues almost unabated, and pressure to disperse roosts is ever‐present. Obtaining resources and taking action to help

Horses, humans and Hendra virus [PDF]
Hendra virus again demonstrated its zoonotic capacity with the infection of two veterinary clinic staff (one fatally) in an outbreak in a Brisbane equine referral veterinary practice in 2008. Bats are recognised as the natural host of the virus.

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.
