Subclinical infection without encephalitis in mice following intranasal exposure to Nipah virus-Malaysia and Nipah virus-Bangladesh [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Nipah virus and Hendra virus are closely related and following natural or experimental exposure induce similar clinical disease. In humans, encephalitis is the most serious outcome of infection and, hitherto, research into the pathogenesis of

Henipavirus Mediated Membrane Fusion, Virus Entry and Targeted Therapeutics
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 ...

Monomeric ephrinB2 binding induces allosteric changes in Nipah virus G that precede its full activation. [PDF]
Nipah virus is an emergent paramyxovirus that causes deadly encephalitis and respiratory infections in humans. Two glycoproteins coordinate the infection of host cells, an attachment protein (G), which binds to cell surface receptors, and a fusion (F ...

Henipavirus Receptor Usage and Tropism [PDF]
Nipah (NiV) and Hendra (HeV) viruses are the deadliest human pathogens within the Paramyxoviridae family, which include human and animal pathogens of global biomedical importance. NiV and HeV infections cause respiratory and encephalitic illness with high mortality rates in humans.

Drivers and Distribution of Henipavirus-Induced Syncytia: What Do We Know?
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

Henipavirus-induced neuropathogenesis in mice
Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are henipaviruses that can cause fatal encephalitis in humans. Many animal models have been used to study henipavirus pathogenesis. In the mouse, HeV infection has previously shown that intranasal challenge can lead to neurological infection, however mice similarly challenged with NiV show no evidence of virus ...

Nipah@20: Lessons Learned from Another Virus with Pandemic Potential
Nipah disease is listed as one of the WHO priority diseases that pose the greatest public health risk due to their epidemic potential. More than 200 experts from around the world convened in Singapore last year to mark the 20th anniversary of the first ...
