Strengthening preparedness and response to emerging henipavirus diversity [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyHenipaviruses, including the highly pathogenic Nipah virus and Hendra virus, represent a major zoonotic threat with high mortality rates and potential for human-to-human transmission.

Henipavirus RNA in African Bats
PLoS ONE, 2009 Les hénipavirus (virus Hendra et Nipah) sont des membres hautement pathogènes de la famille des Paramyxoviridae. Les chauves-souris mangeuses de fruits du genre Pteropus ont été suggérées comme leur réservoir naturel. Des infections à Henipavirus humain ont été signalées dans une région s'étendant de l'Australie à travers la Malaisie jusqu'au ...

Antibodies to Henipavirus or Henipa-Like Viruses in Domestic Pigs in Ghana, West Africa [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Henipaviruses, Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), have Pteropid bats as their known natural reservoirs. Antibodies against henipaviruses have been found in Eidolon helvum, an old world fruit bat species, and henipavirus-like nucleic acid has been ...

Structural Studies of Henipavirus Glycoproteins
VirusesHenipaviruses are a genus of emerging pathogens that includes the highly virulent Nipah and Hendra viruses that cause reoccurring outbreaks of disease. Henipaviruses rely on two surface glycoproteins, known as the attachment and fusion proteins, to facilitate entry into host cells.

Outbreak of Henipavirus Infection, Philippines, 2014
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015 During 2014, henipavirus infection caused severe illness among humans and horses in southern Philippines; fatality rates among humans were high. Horse-to-human and human-to-human transmission occurred.

Characterization of the Interactions between the Nucleoprotein and the Phosphoprotein of Henipavirus [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011 The Henipavirus genome is encapsidated by the nucleoprotein (N) within a helical nucleocapsid that recruits the polymerase complex via the phosphoprotein (P). In a previous study, we reported that in henipaviruses, the N-terminal domain of the phosphoprotein and the C-terminal domain of the nucleoprotein (N(TAIL)) are both intrinsically disordered ...

Drivers and Distribution of Henipavirus-Induced Syncytia: What Do We Know?
Viruses, 2021 Syncytium formation, i.e., cell–cell fusion resulting in the formation of multinucleated cells, is a hallmark of infection by paramyxoviruses and other pathogenic viruses. This natural mechanism has historically been a diagnostic marker for paramyxovirus

First Genomic Evidence of a Henipa-like Virus in Brazil
Viruses, 2022 The viral genus Henipavirus includes two highly virulent zoonotic viruses of serious public health concern. Hendra henipavirus and Nipah henipavirus outbreaks are restricted to Australia and Southeast Asia, respectively.
