Recent developments in experimental animal models ofHenipavirusinfection [PDF]

open access: yesPathogens 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

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

A conserved motif in Henipavirus P/V/W proteins drives the fibrillation of the W protein from Hendra virus

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 34, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV) viruses are high‐priority, biosafety level‐4 pathogens that cause fatal neurological and respiratory disease. Their P gene encodes not only the P protein, an essential polymerase cofactor, but also the virulence factors V and W.

Unraveling the molecular grammar and the structural transitions underlying the fibrillation of a viral fibrillogenic domain

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Hendra virus (HeV) is a biosafety level 4 human pathogen belonging to the Henipavirus genus within the Paramyxoviridae family. In HeV, the phosphoprotein‐encoding gene also drives the synthesis of the V and W proteins that are two major players in the host innate immune response evasion.

Characterization of functional human antibodies targeting henipavirus and flavivirus glycoproteins

open access: yes, 2021
The henipaviruses Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV), and the flavivirus yellow fever (YFV), pose massive global public health threats. No small molecule or antibody-based countermeasures are available to treat humans infected by HeV, NiV, or YFV, and major ...

In silico Drug Discovery of Novel Small Lead Compounds Targeting Nipah Virus Attachment Glycoprotein

open access: yesJournal of Integrated Health Sciences, 2018
Introduction: Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus are the type species of the highly pathogenic paramyxovirus genus Henipavirus, which can cause severe respiratory disease and fatal encephalitis infections in humans.

Emerging Nipah Virus With Pandemic Potential and High Mortality Rates: Is the Scientific Community Learning From Former Pandemics?

open access: yesReviews in Medical Virology, Volume 35, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT As Nipah virus (NiV) infection is characterised by a possible pandemic risk, being currently limited to a small but deadly belt, the attention of other countries is essential. It has often been pointed out that NiV is an under‐researched virus with a high‐risk potential. This study aimed to show the global research history and status quo based

Dissecting Henipavirus W proteins conformational and fibrillation properties: contribution of their N‐ and C‐terminal constituent domains

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 3, Page 556-581, February 2025.
The W proteins of Nipah and Hendra viruses exhibit fibrillation abilities in vitro, which have been attributed to the intrinsically disordered N‐terminal domain (NTD). Our research shows that the C‐terminal domain (CTD) of both viruses is intrinsically disordered and non‐fibrillogenic.
