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

Outbreak of Henipavirus Infection, Philippines, 2014
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.

Nipah and Hendra viruses are deadly zoonotic paramyxoviruses with a case fatality rate of upto 75%. The viruses belong to the genus henipavirus in the family Paramyxoviridae, a family of negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses.

Animal Challenge Models of Henipavirus Infection and Pathogenesis [PDF]
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.

Inhibition of Henipavirus infection by RNA interference
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.

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

Immunopathogenesis of Nipah Virus Infection and Associated Immune Responses
Pandemics in the last two centuries have been initiated by causal pathogens that include Severe Acute Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Influenza (e.g., the H1N1 pandemic of 2009).

Reprogrammed Pteropus Bat Stem Cells as A Model to Study Host-Pathogen Interaction during Henipavirus Infection [PDF]
Bats are natural hosts for numerous zoonotic viruses, including henipaviruses, which are highly pathogenic for humans, livestock, and other mammals but do not induce clinical disease in bats. Pteropus bats are identified as a reservoir of henipaviruses and the source of transmission of the infection to humans over the past 20 years.

Evidence of Henipavirus Infection in West African Fruit Bats
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Henipaviruses are emerging RNA viruses of fruit bat origin that can cause fatal encephalitis in man. Ghanaian fruit bats (megachiroptera) were tested for antibodies to henipaviruses. Using a Luminex multiplexed microsphere assay, antibodies were detected in sera of Eidolon helvum to both Nipah (39%, 95%
