Henipavirus inPteropus vampyrusBats, Indonesia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
The emergence of Nipah virus (NiV) in Malaysia in 1999 resulted in 265 known human infections (105 fatal), widespread infection in pigs (with >1 million culled to control the outbreak), and the collapse of the Malaysian pig export market. As with the closely related Hendra virus (HeV) that emerged in Australia in 1994 and caused fatal disease in horses

Ecological and Reproductive Cycles Drive Henipavirus Seroprevalence in the African Straw‐Coloured Fruit Bat (Eidolon helvum)

Ecology and Evolution
Bats are known to host zoonotic viruses, including henipaviruses that cause high fatality rates in humans (Nipah virus and Hendra virus). However, the determinants of zoonotic spillover are generally unknown, as the ecological and demographic drivers of ...

Structure and antigenicity of divergent Henipavirus fusion glycoproteins

Nature Communications, 2023
AbstractIn August 2022, a novel henipavirus (HNV) named Langya virus (LayV) was isolated from patients with severe pneumonic disease in China. This virus is closely related to Mòjiāng virus (MojV), and both are divergent from the bat-borne HNV members, Nipah (NiV) and Hendra (HeV) viruses.

Ephrin-B2 expression critically influences Nipah virus infection independent of its cytoplasmic tail [PDF]

, 2008
Background Cell entry and cell-to-cell spread of the highly pathogenic Nipah virus (NiV) requires binding of the NiV G protein to cellular ephrin receptors and subsequent NiV F-mediated fusion.

Unraveling the molecular grammar and the structural transitions underlying the fibrillation of a viral fibrillogenic domain

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2025.
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.

Hendra Virus Outbreak with Novel Clinical Features, Australia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
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.

Emerging Nipah Virus With Pandemic Potential and High Mortality Rates: Is the Scientific Community Learning From Former Pandemics?

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 35, Issue 2, March 2025.
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

Epidemiology, Transmission And Isolation Of Nipah Virus In Large Fruit Bats (Pteropus Species)In Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]

, 2009
Bats of the genus Pteropus are considered the natural reservoir hosts for NiV and other henipaviruses. The present study was carried out to investigate the epidemiology of NiV in Pteropus sp. in Malaysia.

Dissecting Henipavirus W proteins conformational and fibrillation properties: contribution of their N‐ and C‐terminal constituent domains

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 3, Page 556-581, February 2025.
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.

Characteristics and Risk Perceptions of Ghanaians Potentially Exposed to Bat-Borne Zoonoses through Bushmeat. [PDF]

, 2014
Emerging zoonotic pathogens from wildlife pose increasing public health threats globally. Bats, in particular, host an array of zoonotic pathogens, yet there is little research on how bats and humans interact, how people perceive bats and their ...
