Serological evidence of virus infection in Eidolon helvum fruit bats: implications for bushmeat consumption in Nigeria

Frontiers in Public Health, 2023
IntroductionThe Eidolon helvum fruit bat is one of the most widely distributed fruit bats in Africa and known to be a reservoir for several pathogenic viruses that can cause disease in animals and humans.

Animal Models for Henipavirus Research

Viruses, 2023
Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are zoonotic paramyxoviruses in the genus Henipavirus (HNV) that emerged nearly thirty years ago. Outbreaks of HeV and NiV have led to severe respiratory disease and encephalitis in humans and animals characterized by a high mortality rate.

Henipavirus susceptibility to environmental variables [PDF]

Virus Research, 2008
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The routes of henipavirus transmission between hosts are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to measure the persistence of henipaviruses under various environmental conditions and thereby gain an insight into likely mechanisms of transmission. Henipaviruses survived for more than 4 days at

Defective Interfering Viral Particle Treatment Reduces Clinical Signs and Protects Hamsters from Lethal Nipah Virus Disease

mBio, 2022
Defective interfering particles (DIs) contain a considerably smaller genome than the parental virus but retain replication competency. As DIs can directly or indirectly alter propagation kinetics of the parental virus, they offer a novel approach to ...

Targeted Strategies for Henipavirus Therapeutics [PDF]

The Open Virology Journal, 2007
Hendra and Nipah viruses are related emergent paramyxoviruses that infect and cause disease in animals and humans. Disease manifests as a generalized vasculitis affecting multiple organs, but is the most severe in the respiratory and central nervous systems.

Identifying Suspect Bat Reservoirs of Emerging Infections

Vaccines, 2020
Bats host a number of pathogens that cause severe disease and onward transmission in humans and domestic animals. Some of these pathogens, including henipaviruses and filoviruses, are considered a concern for future pandemics.

Henipavirus sero-surveillance in horses and pigs from Northern Nigeria

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.
