Interferon Signaling Remains Functional during Henipavirus Infection of Human Cell Lines
Henipaviruses encode several proteins from the P gene, of which V and W have been demonstrated by gene-based transfection studies to antagonize the innate immune response, blocking both type I interferon production and signaling.

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Pathogenicity of Nipah henipavirus Bangladesh in a swine host [PDF]
Abstract In 1998 an outbreak of fatal encephalitis among pig farm workers in Malaysia and Singapore led to the discovery of Nipah henipavirus (NiV), a novel paramyxovirus closely related to Hendra henipavirus with case fatality rates of nearly 40%.

Abstract Hendra virus (HeV) is a biosafety level 4 human pathogen belonging to the Henipavirus genus within the Paramyxoviridae family. In HeV, the phosphoprotein‐encoding gene also drives the synthesis of the V and W proteins that are two major players in the host innate immune response evasion.

Henipavirus neutralising antibodies in an isolated island population of African fruit bats. [PDF]
Isolated islands provide valuable opportunities to study the persistence of viruses in wildlife populations, including population size thresholds such as the critical community size.

Hendra Virus Outbreak with Novel Clinical Features, Australia
To determine the epidemiologic and clinical features of a 2008 outbreak of Hendra virus infection in a veterinary clinic in Australia, we investigated the equine case-series. Four of 5 infected horses died, as did 1 of 2 infected staff members.

ABSTRACT As Nipah virus (NiV) infection is characterised by a possible pandemic risk, being currently limited to a small but deadly belt, the attention of other countries is essential. It has often been pointed out that NiV is an under‐researched virus with a high‐risk potential. This study aimed to show the global research history and status quo based

The W proteins of Nipah and Hendra viruses exhibit fibrillation abilities in vitro, which have been attributed to the intrinsically disordered N‐terminal domain (NTD). Our research shows that the C‐terminal domain (CTD) of both viruses is intrinsically disordered and non‐fibrillogenic.

The Emergence of Novel Langya Henipavirus in China
In August 2022, a research study in China reported the emergence of Langya henipavirus (LayV), a novel zoonotic henipavirus. LayV had infected 35 people in Shandong and Henan provinces between 2018 – 2021, with shrews suspected to be the natural ...
