Trafficking and Activation of Henipavirus, Parahenipavirus, and Henipa-like Virus Fusion Proteins [PDF]

Viruses
Henipaviruses are emerging zoonotic viruses that have caused deadly outbreaks in humans and livestock across several regions of the world. The fusion (F) protein of henipaviruses plays a critical role in viral entry into host cells and represents a key ...

Henipavirus Mediated Membrane Fusion, Virus Entry and Targeted Therapeutics

Viruses, 2012
The Paramyxoviridae genus Henipavirus is presently represented by the type species Hendra and Nipah viruses which are both recently emerged zoonotic viral pathogens responsible for repeated outbreaks associated with high morbidity and mortality in ...

Henipavirus: A Review of Laboratory Animal Pathology [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2010
The genus Henipavirus contains two members—Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV)—and each can cause fatal disease in humans and animals. HeV and Niv are currently classified as biosafety level 4, and NiV is classified as a category C priority pathogen.

Henipavirus sero-surveillance in horses and pigs from Northern Nigeria [PDF]

Frontiers in Virology, 2022
Hendra virus and Nipah virus are considered to be emerging viruses and cause severe zoonotic diseases, which occur in humans who have had close contact with horses and pigs in Australia and Asia, respectively. Both viruses belong to the genus Henipavirus.

Sequence‐encoded determinants drive distinct early aggregation pathways and different structural outcomes in PNT1 fibrils across Henipavirus members [PDF]

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Protein aggregation is increasingly recognized as a biologically relevant process in viral proteins, yet the molecular determinants governing such phenomena remain poorly understood. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are ubiquitous in viral proteomes, where conformational plasticity not only enables functional diversity but also permits

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

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

Ecological and Reproductive Cycles Drive Henipavirus Seroprevalence in the African Straw‐Coloured Fruit Bat (Eidolon helvum) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Bats are known to host zoonotic viruses, including henipaviruses that cause high fatality rates in humans (Nipah virus and Hendra virus). However, the determinants of zoonotic spillover are generally unknown, as the ecological and demographic drivers of ...

Hendra virus: research progress on a bat-borne threat lurking at the human-animal interface [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Hendra virus (HeV) is a highly lethal zoonotic henipavirus that has caused recurrent cross-species spillover events in Australia since 1994. Its capacity for cross-species spillover, together with its tropism for vascular endothelial and neural tissues ...

Genome-wide siRNA Screening at Biosafety Level 4 Reveals a Crucial Role for Fibrillarin in Henipavirus Infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Hendra and Nipah viruses (genus Henipavirus, family Paramyxoviridae) are highly pathogenic bat-borne viruses. The need for high biocontainment when studying henipaviruses has hindered the development of therapeutics and knowledge of the viral infection ...
