Background Using a recently described monolayer assay amenable to high throughput screening format for the identification of potential Nipah virus and Hendra virus antivirals, we have partially screened a low molecular weight compound library (>8,000 ...

Abstract Protein aggregation is increasingly recognized as a biologically relevant process in viral proteins, yet the molecular determinants governing such phenomena remain poorly understood. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are ubiquitous in viral proteomes, where conformational plasticity not only enables functional diversity but also permits

Heparan Sulfate-Dependent Enhancement of Henipavirus Infection
Nipah virus and Hendra virus are emerging, highly pathogenic, zoonotic paramyxoviruses that belong to the genus Henipavirus. They infect humans as well as numerous mammalian species.

ABSTRACT Using the US Agency for International Development (USAID) PREDICT program as a case study, I argue that mainstream emerging disease science (re)produces Orientalist imaginaries of pandemic risk through narratives about wildlife infections as inherently “backwards” in epidemic time relative to human and domestic animal infections. This temporal

Hendra virus spillover risk in horses: heightened vigilance and precautions being urged this winter
On Friday 26 May 2017, Biosecurity Queensland announced that an unvaccinated horse in the Gold Coast hinterland had been euthanased following a positive detection of Hendra virus.1 This was the first Hendra virus case for the year and serves as a ...

Bats of the genus Pteropus are natural hosts of henipaviruses, an emergent group of viruses that includes two recognised members of the genus: Hendra virus and Nipah virus. Hendra virus was first described in 1994 in Australia.

Environmental and anthropogenic drivers of antibiotic resistance dissemination. The cycle reinforces how anthropogenic inputs, such as sewage, animal dung, hospital effluent, and agricultural runoff bring resistant bacteria and antibiotic residues into soil and water.

The Effect of Environmental Temperature on Hendra Virus Survival [PDF]
In their recent paper, Martin et al. (2015) use an alternative modelling approach to re-test our hypothesis of the effect of environmental temperature on Hendra virus survival (Scanlan et al. 2014). They identify a translation error in the calculated half-life of virus at 56 C, the highest data point on the regression curve that formed the basis of our

Drivers of bat researchers’ intent to adopt field hygiene practices
Abstract Infectious disease is a growing threat to wildlife, with zoonotic transmission most likely at the human–wildlife interface. One underappreciated activity at this interface is fieldwork with wild animals, but associated risks can be mitigated through field hygiene (FH) practices, such as using personal protective equipment and other appropriate

Evidence of endemic Hendra virus infection in flying-foxes (Pteropus conspicillatus)--implications for disease risk management. [PDF]
This study investigated the seroepidemiology of Hendra virus in a spectacled flying-fox (Pteropus conspicillatus) population in northern Australia, near the location of an equine and associated human Hendra virus infection in late 2004.
