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

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

Inhibition of Henipavirus fusion and infection by heptad-derived peptides of the Nipah virus fusion glycoprotein [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2005
Abstract Background The recent emergence of four new members of the paramyxovirus family has heightened the awareness of and re-energized research on new and emerging diseases. In particular, the high mortality and person to person transmission associated with the most recent Nipah virus outbreaks, as well as the very

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.

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 ...

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence

Reviews 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

Fc-Based Recombinant Henipavirus Vaccines Elicit Broad Neutralizing Antibody Responses in Mice

Viruses, 2020
The genus Henipavirus (HNVs) includes two fatal viruses, namely Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV). Since 1994, NiV and HeV have been endemic to the Asia–Pacific region and responsible for more than 600 cases of infections. Two emerging HNVs, Ghana

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

Protein 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.
