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.

Development of a real-time RT-PCR assay for detection of Hendra and Nipah viruses
The article is devoted to the development of a method for detection of viral RNA of two highly pathogenic zoonotic viruses from the genus Henipavirus — Hendra and Nipah using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.

Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

This perspective highlights the need for a systems thinking approach in One Health to holistically address zoonotic disease prevention, and to strengthen connections with the environment sector for global pandemic preparedness. Abstract With One Health (OH) encompassing a holistic view of the interrelated health of humans, animals and environment ...

Antiviral therapies against Ebola and other emerging viral diseases using existing medicines that block virus entry [PDF]
Emerging viral diseases pose a threat to the global population as intervention strategies are mainly limited to basic containment due to the lack of efficacious and approved vaccines and antiviral drugs.

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

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

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.

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
