Henipavirus Vaccine Development
The henipaviruses, Hendra virus and Nipah virus, belong to the family Paramyxoviridae which has long been a source of highly contagious pathogens for both humans and animals. Some notable paramyxoviruses such as measles virus have spilled over from animals into humans to cause significant morbidity and mortality.

Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales : update 2016 [PDF]
In 2016, the order Mononegavirales was emended through the addition of two new families (Mymonaviridae and Sunviridae), the elevation of the paramyxoviral subfamily Pneumovirinae to family status (Pneumoviridae), the addition of five free-floating genera

This study explores socioeconomic and health‐related aspects of a bat‐hunter community in Bangladesh, focusing on their unique cultural practices and the associated risks of bat‐borne infections. The hunter community predominantly engages in day labor and seasonal bat hunting as supplementary income.

Henipavirus Pathogenesis in Human Respiratory Epithelial Cells [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are deadly zoonotic viruses for which no vaccines or therapeutics are licensed for human use. Henipavirus infection causes severe respiratory illness and encephalitis. Although the exact route of transmission in human is unknown, epidemiological studies and in vivo

Protease inhibitors targeting coronavirus and filovirus entry. [PDF]
In order to gain entry into cells, diverse viruses, including Ebola virus, SARS-coronavirus and the emerging MERS-coronavirus, depend on activation of their envelope glycoproteins by host cell proteases.

Integrating host condition into spatiotemporal multiscale models improves virus shedding predictions
Understanding where and when pathogens occur in the environment has implications for reservoir population health and infection risk. In reservoir hosts, infection status and pathogen shedding are affected by processes interacting across different scales: from landscape features affecting host location and transmission to within‐host processes affecting

Henipavirus infection of the central nervous system [PDF]
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%.
