Henipavirus Receptor Usage and Tropism [PDF]
, 2012 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.

Seasonal shedding patterns of diverse henipavirus-related paramyxoviruses in Egyptian rousette bats
Scientific Reports, 2021 Bat-borne viruses in the Henipavirus genus have been associated with zoonotic diseases of high morbidity and mortality in Asia and Australia. In Africa, the Egyptian rousette bat species (Rousettus aegyptiacus) is an important viral host in which ...

A key region of molecular specificity orchestrates unique ephrin-B1 utilization by Cedar virus
Life Science Alliance, 2020 An expanded hydrophobic cavity within the structurally constrained receptor-binding site of the Cedar virus attachment glycoprotein facilitates idiosyncratic utilization of ephrin-B1. The emergent zoonotic henipaviruses, Hendra, and Nipah are responsible

Genome Sequence Conservation of Hendra Virus Isolates during Spillover to Horses, Australia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 Bat-to-horse transmission of Hendra virus has occurred at least 14 times. Although clinical signs in horses have differed, genome sequencing has demonstrated little variation among the isolates.

Henipavirus infection of the central nervous system [PDF]
Pathogens and Disease, 2019 ABSTRACTNipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus are highly pathogenic zoonotic viruses of the genus Henipavirus, family Paramyxoviridae. These viruses were first identified as the causative agents of severe respiratory and encephalitic disease in the 1990s across Australia and Southern Asia with mortality rates reaching up to 75%.

Modes of paramyxovirus fusion: a Henipavirus perspective [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2011 Henipavirus is a new genus of Paramyxoviridae that uses protein-based receptors (ephrinB2 and ephrinB3) for virus entry. Paramyxovirus entry requires the coordinated action of the fusion (F) and attachment viral envelope glycoproteins. Receptor binding to the attachment protein triggers F to undergo a conformational cascade that results in membrane ...
