Distinct Cell Transcriptomic Landscapes Upon Henipavirus Infections [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Hendra virus (HeV) and Cedar virus (CedV) are henipaviruses, which fall into the Paramyxoviridae family of single-stranded, negative-sense RNA viruses. HeV is classified as a Biosafety Level-4 (BSL-4) agent, as it is highly pathogenic and is often fatal ...
