Recent developments in experimental animal models ofHenipavirusinfection [PDF]

Pathogens and Disease, 2014
Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV) viruses (genus Henipavirus (HNV; family Paramyxoviridae) are emerging zoonotic agents that can cause severe respiratory distress and acute encephalitis in humans. Given the lack of effective therapeutics and vaccines for human use, these viruses are considered as public health concerns. Several experimental animal models of

Bat Hunting, Illness, and Health‐Seeking Behavior Among a Bat‐Hunter Community in Bangladesh: Biomedical Versus Local Views

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study explores socioeconomic and health‐related aspects of a bat‐hunter community in Bangladesh, focusing on their unique cultural practices and the associated risks of bat‐borne infections. The hunter community predominantly engages in day labor and seasonal bat hunting as supplementary income.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Using Henipavirus-Receptor EphrinB2 and Monoclonal Antibodies for Detecting Nipah and Hendra Viruses

Viruses
The Nipah virus (NiV) and the Hendra virus (HeV) are highly pathogenic zoonotic diseases that can cause fatal infections in humans and animals. Early detection is critical for the control of NiV and HeV infections.

The Matrix Protein of Nipah Virus Targets the E3-Ubiquitin Ligase TRIM6 to Inhibit the IKKε Kinase-Mediated Type-I IFN Antiviral Response. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
For efficient replication, viruses have developed mechanisms to evade innate immune responses, including the antiviral type-I interferon (IFN-I) system.

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Integrating host condition into spatiotemporal multiscale models improves virus shedding predictions

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.
Understanding where and when pathogens occur in the environment has implications for reservoir population health and infection risk. In reservoir hosts, infection status and pathogen shedding are affected by processes interacting across different scales: from landscape features affecting host location and transmission to within‐host processes affecting

Mapping the Potential Risk of Coronavirus Spillovers in a Global Hotspot

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
Bats host a vast array of viruses, including those behind SARS and COVID‐19. This study maps coronavirus spillover risk hotspots across South and Southeast Asia by combining horseshoe bat species distributions, forest fragmentation, and human population density.

Potent Cross‐neutralizing Antibodies Reveal Vulnerabilities of Henipavirus Fusion Glycoprotein

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 27, July 17, 2025.
Hendra and Nipah viruses (HNVs) pose significant threats to global health. This work reports potent cross‐neutralizing antibodies targeting the fusion glycoprotein (F) and reveals shared features of these antibodies and vulnerabilities of F, thereby guiding the rational design of countermeasures against HNVs and similar pathogens.

Recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus–vectored vaccine induces long-lasting immunity against Nipah virus disease

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023
The emergence of the novel henipavirus, Langya virus, received global attention after the virus sickened over three dozen people in China. There is heightened concern that henipaviruses, as respiratory pathogens, could spark another pandemic, most ...
