Dual microRNA Screens Reveal That the Immune-Responsive miR-181 Promotes Henipavirus Entry and Cell-Cell Fusion

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
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

Host gene expression profiles in ferrets infected with genetically distinct henipavirus strains [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Henipavirus infection causes severe respiratory and neurological disease in humans that can be fatal. To characterize the pathogenic mechanisms of henipavirus infection in vivo, we performed experimental infections in ferrets followed by genome-wide gene

Characterization of an mRNA-Encoded Antibody Against Henipavirus [PDF]

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Nipah and Hendra viruses are lethal zoonotic pathogens with no approved vaccines or therapeutics. mRNA produced via in vitro transcription enables endogenous protein expression and cost reduction.

Bat trait, genetic and pathogen data from large-scale investigations of African fruit bats, Eidolon helvum. [PDF]

, 2016
Bats, including African straw-coloured fruit bats (Eidolon helvum), have been highlighted as reservoirs of many recently emerged zoonotic viruses. This common, widespread and ecologically important species was the focus of longitudinal and continent-wide
