Outbreak of Henipavirus Infection, Philippines, 2014

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
En 2014, l'infection à henipavirus a causé une maladie grave chez les humains et les chevaux dans le sud des Philippines ; les taux de mortalité chez les humains étaient élevés. Une transmission de cheval à humain et d'humain à humain s'est produite. La source la plus probable d'infection des chevaux était les chauves-souris frugivores.

Evolution of Nipah Virus Infection: Past, Present, and Future Considerations

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2021
Nipah virus (NiV) is a zoonotic paramyxovirus of the Henipavirus genus first identified in Malaysia in 1998. Henipaviruses have bat reservoir hosts and have been isolated from fruit bats found across Oceania, Asia, and Africa.

Clinical Outcome of Henipavirus Infection in Hamsters Is Determined by the Route and Dose of Infection [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2011
ABSTRACTNipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV) are emerging zoonotic viruses and the causative agents of severe respiratory disease and encephalitis in humans. Little is known about the mechanisms that govern the development of respiratory and neurological disease.

Inhibition of Henipavirus infection by RNA interference

Antiviral Research, 2008
Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV) are recently emerged zoonotic paramyxoviruses exclusively grouped within a new genus, Henipavirus. These viruses cause fatal disease in a wide range of species, including humans. Both NiV and HeV have continued to re-emerge sporadically in Bangladesh and Australia, respectively.

Animal Challenge Models of Henipavirus Infection and Pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2012
The henipaviruses, Hendra virus (HeV), and Nipah virus (NiV), are enigmatic emerging pathogens that causes severe and often fatal neurologic and/or respiratory disease in both animals and humans. Amongst people, case fatality rates range between 40 and 75% and there are no vaccines or treatments approved for human use.
