ABSTRACT Nipah virus (NiV) is a highly pathogenic zoonotic virus transmitted from bats to humans through pigs as a crucial intermediate host. NiV outbreaks pose significant public health and economic threats, especially for pig farmers. Although the World Organization for Animal Health recommends African green monkey‐derived Vero cells for NiV ...

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.

Forscher entdecken in China neues Henipavirus
In China sind 35 Menschen an einem neu nachgewiesenen Henipavirus erkrankt, das wahrscheinlich von einem Tier stammt. Die Infektionen mit dem Langya-Henipavirus (LayV) benannten Erreger traten in den Provinzen Shangdong und Henan vor allem bei Farmern ...

High Pathogenicity of Nipah Virus from Pteropus lylei Fruit Bats, Cambodia
We conducted an in-depth characterization of the Nipah virus (NiV) isolate previously obtained from a Pteropus lylei bat in Cambodia in 2003 (CSUR381). We performed full-genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses and confirmed CSUR381 is part of the NiV-

Differential Features of Fusion Activation within the Paramyxoviridae
Paramyxovirus (PMV) entry requires the coordinated action of two envelope glycoproteins, the receptor binding protein (RBP) and fusion protein (F). The sequence of events that occurs during the PMV entry process is tightly regulated.

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

Mapping the Potential Risk of Coronavirus Spillovers in a Global Hotspot
Bats host a vast array of viruses, including those behind SARS and COVID‐19. This study maps coronavirus spillover risk hotspots across South and Southeast Asia by combining horseshoe bat species distributions, forest fragmentation, and human population density.

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.
