A conserved motif in Henipavirus P/V/W proteins drives the fibrillation of the W protein from Hendra virus

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV) viruses are high‐priority, biosafety level‐4 pathogens that cause fatal neurological and respiratory disease. Their P gene encodes not only the P protein, an essential polymerase cofactor, but also the virulence factors V and W.

Pathology of Acute Henipavirus Infection in Humans and Animals [PDF]

Pathology Research International, 2011
Zoonoses as causes of human infections have been increasingly reported, and many of these are viruses that cause central nervous system infections. This paper focuses on the henipaviruses (family Paramyxoviridae, genushenipavirus) that have recently emerged to cause severe encephalitis and systemic infection in humans and animals in the Asia-Pacific ...

The Application of One Health Approaches to Henipavirus Research

, 2012
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Henipaviruses cause fatal infection in humans and domestic animals. Transmission from fruit bats, the wildlife reservoirs of henipaviruses, is putatively driven (at least in part) by anthropogenic changes that alter host ecology.

Clinical and Pathological Manifestations of Human Henipavirus Infection

, 2012
The clinicopathological features of human Nipah virus and Hendra virus infections appear to be similar. The clinical manifestations may be mild, but if severe, includes acute encephalitic and pulmonary syndromes with a high mortality. The pathological features in human acute henipavirus infections comprise vasculopathy (vasculitis, endothelial ...
