Functional studies of host-specific ephrin-B ligands as Henipavirus receptors

open access: yesVirology, 2008
Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are closely related paramyxoviruses that infect and cause disease in a wide range of mammalian hosts. To determine whether host receptor molecules play a role in species-specific and/or virus-specific infection we

Ferret Models for Henipavirus Infection

2023
Henipaviruses are emerging zoonotic viruses that can cause outbreaks of severe respiratory and neurological disease in humans and animals such as horses. The mechanism by which these viruses can cause disease remain largely unknown and to date there are no therapeutics or vaccines approved for use in humans.

Henipavirus Infections - An Expanding Zoonosis from Fruit Bats

open access: yesJournal of Disaster Research, 2011
The henipavirus genus has two members – the Hendra virus (HeV) and the Nipah virus (NiV). HeV and NiV, identified in the 1990s as a paramyxovirus, cause fatalities in humans and animals. They are now classified as biosafety level 4 pathogens. HeV caused fatal respiratory infection in horses and humans in Australia in 1994, in which 2 persons died.

Profiling Host MicroRNA Responses to Henipavirus Infection

2023
Diseases caused by henipaviruses feature incubation periods of up to 16 days, during which infected animals may show no apparent signs of disease yet be capable of transmitting the virus to humans. This risk has prompted research into host-derived biomarkers for early disease detection. Here, we describe a methodology for the assaying of host microRNAs

Animal models of henipavirus infection: A review

The Veterinary Journal, 2009
Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) form a separate genus Henipavirus within the family Paramyxoviridae, and are classified as biosafety level four pathogens due to their high case fatality rate following human infection and because of the lack of effective vaccines or therapy.

Overview of Experimental Vaccines and Antiviral Therapeutics for Henipavirus Infection

2023
Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are highly pathogenic paramyxoviruses, which have emerged in recent decades and cause sporadic outbreaks of respiratory and encephalitic disease in Australia and Southeast Asia, respectively. Over two billion people currently live in regions potentially at risk due to the wide range of the Pteropus fruit bat ...

Low leukocyte count in Langya henipavirus and severity of infection

The Egyptian Journal of Haematology, 2022
Aim The aim is to determine the leukocyte count in Langya henipavirus infection. Background The ‘Langya henipavirus’ is a brand new viral pathogen that first appeared in 2022. In the Chinese cities where this new virus was discovered, a big population was found with this infection ...

Host Transcriptome Analysis of Ferret Tissues Following Henipavirus Infection

2023
Ferrets are commonly used as experimental models of infection for a variety of viruses due to their susceptibility to human respiratory viruses and the close resemblance of pathological outcomes found in human infections. Even though ferret-specific reagents are limited, the use of ferrets as a preclinical experimental model of infection has gained ...

Infection and transmission of henipavirus in animals

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
Henipavirus (HNV) is well known for two zoonotic viruses in the genus, Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), which pose serious threat to human and animal health. In August 2022, a third zoonotic virus in the genus Henipavirus, Langya virus (LayV), was discovered in China.

Primary Culture of the Human Olfactory Neuroepithelium and Utilization for Henipavirus Infection In Vitro

2023
The olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) are a unique cell type involved in the initial perception of odors. These specialized epithelial cells are located in the neuroepithelium of the nasal cavities and directly connect the nasal cavity with the central nervous system (CNS) via axons, which traverse the cribriform plate to synapse within the olfactory ...
