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 ...

Host gene expression profiles in ferrets infected with genetically distinct henipavirus strains. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Henipavirus infection causes severe respiratory and neurological disease in humans that can be fatal. To characterize the pathogenic mechanisms of henipavirus infection in vivo, we performed experimental infections in ferrets followed by genome-wide gene

Henipavirus RNA in African bats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundHenipaviruses (Hendra and Nipah virus) are highly pathogenic members of the family Paramyxoviridae. Fruit-eating bats of the Pteropus genus have been suggested as their natural reservoir.

Indirect ELISA based on Hendra and Nipah virus proteins for the detection of henipavirus specific antibodies in pigs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) belong to the genus Henipavirus in the family Paramyxoviridae. Henipavirus infections were first reported in the 1990's causing severe and often fatal outbreaks in domestic animals and humans in Southeast Asia and

Genome-wide siRNA Screening at Biosafety Level 4 Reveals a Crucial Role for Fibrillarin in Henipavirus Infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Hendra and Nipah viruses (genus Henipavirus, family Paramyxoviridae) are highly pathogenic bat-borne viruses. The need for high biocontainment when studying henipaviruses has hindered the development of therapeutics and knowledge of the viral infection ...

Trafficking and Activation of Henipavirus, Parahenipavirus, and Henipa-like Virus Fusion Proteins [PDF]

Viruses
Henipaviruses are emerging zoonotic viruses that have caused deadly outbreaks in humans and livestock across several regions of the world. The fusion (F) protein of henipaviruses plays a critical role in viral entry into host cells and represents a key ...

Serological and molecular analysis of henipavirus infections in synanthropic fruit bat and rodent populations in the Centre and North regions of Cameroon (2018–2020) [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Bats and rodents have been identified as reservoirs for several highly pathogenic and zoonotic viruses including henipaviruses, a genus within the Paramyxoviridae family.
