Hendra and Nipah viruses (family Paramyxoviridae, genus Henipavirus) are bat-borne viruses that cause fatal disease in humans and a range of other mammalian species. Gaining a deeper understanding of host pathways exploited by henipaviruses for infection

Prevalence of Henipavirus and Rubulavirus Antibodies in Pteropid Bats, Papua New Guinea
To determine seroprevalence of viruses in bats in Papua New Guinea, we sampled 66 bats at 3 locations. We found a seroprevalence of 55% for henipavirus (Hendra or Nipah virus) and 56% for rubulavirus (Tioman or Menangle virus).

Integrating host condition into spatiotemporal multiscale models improves virus shedding predictions
Understanding where and when pathogens occur in the environment has implications for reservoir population health and infection risk. In reservoir hosts, infection status and pathogen shedding are affected by processes interacting across different scales: from landscape features affecting host location and transmission to within‐host processes affecting

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

Mapping the Potential Risk of Coronavirus Spillovers in a Global Hotspot
Bats host a vast array of viruses, including those behind SARS and COVID‐19. This study maps coronavirus spillover risk hotspots across South and Southeast Asia by combining horseshoe bat species distributions, forest fragmentation, and human population density.

Unexpected Result of Hendra Virus Outbreaks for Veterinarians, Queensland, Australia
A qualitative study of equine veterinarians and allied staff from Queensland, Australia, showed that veterinarians are ceasing equine practice because of fears related to Hendra virus. Their decisions were motivated by personal safety and legal liability

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Potent Cross‐neutralizing Antibodies Reveal Vulnerabilities of Henipavirus Fusion Glycoprotein
Hendra and Nipah viruses (HNVs) pose significant threats to global health. This work reports potent cross‐neutralizing antibodies targeting the fusion glycoprotein (F) and reveals shared features of these antibodies and vulnerabilities of F, thereby guiding the rational design of countermeasures against HNVs and similar pathogens.

Atlarda Hendra Virus Enfeksiyonları
Hendra virüsü (HeV), 1994 yılında Avustralya'nın Queensland eyaletindeki Brisbane banliyösünde ortaya çıkan zoonotik paramyxovirüstür. HeV ilk olarak Avustralya'da atlarda ve insanlarda ölümcül bir solunum yolu hastalığı meydana geldikten sonra tanımlanmıştır. Meyve yarasaları (Pteropus spp.) doğal rezervuardır.
