Flying-fox species density--a spatial risk factor for Hendra virus infection in horses in eastern Australia. [PDF]
Hendra virus causes sporadic but typically fatal infection in horses and humans in eastern Australia. Fruit-bats of the genus Pteropus (commonly known as flying-foxes) are the natural host of the virus, and the putative source of infection in horses ...

Infectious diseases significantly impact equine health and welfare, causing illness and death, and loss of productivity globally. One such disease is ‘strangles’, a highly contagious upper respiratory condition in horses caused by Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (SEE).

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.

Plant phenology supports the multi-emergence hypothesis for ebola spillover events [PDF]
Ebola virus disease outbreaks in animals (including humans and great apes) start with sporadic host switches from unknown reservoir species. The factors leading to such spillover events are little explored.

Skin Colour in Salamanders Is Modulated by Both Epitranscriptomic Methylation and Gene Expression
ABSTRACT Animal colouration is a key trait in organismal biology, being involved in natural and sexual selection, competition, and communication. Amphibians use their highly diverse colouration in many ecological interactions, but the molecular bases of their colour variation are less well understood than in other vertebrate systems. While the genetic,

ZNRD2 Mediated Nucleoprotein Aggregation Impairs Respiratory Syncytial Virus Replication
During RSV infection, nucleoprotein (N) forms RNA‐bound oligomers. The host protein ZNRD2 binds to these oligomers, promoting their transition into insoluble aggregates. These aggregates simultaneously sequester functional N to restrict viral production and disrupt chaperonin assembly quality control by interfering with ZNRD2's role as an adaptor ...

No Evidence of Prolonged Hendra Virus Shedding by 2 Patients, Australia
To better understand the natural history of Hendra virus infection and its tendency to relapse, 2 humans infected with this virus were monitored after acute infection.

Ephrin-B2 expression critically influences Nipah virus infection independent of its cytoplasmic tail [PDF]
Background Cell entry and cell-to-cell spread of the highly pathogenic Nipah virus (NiV) requires binding of the NiV G protein to cellular ephrin receptors and subsequent NiV F-mediated fusion.
