Emerging henipaviruses and flying foxes – Conservation and management perspectives

Biological Conservation, 2006
Wildlife populations are affected by a series of emerging diseases, some of which pose a significant threat to their conservation. They can also be reservoirs of pathogens that threaten domestic animal and human health. In this paper, we review the ecology of two viruses that have caused significant disease in domestic animals and humans and are ...

Experimental challenge of African green monkeys with contemporary Hendra virus isolates produces divergent clinical disease

Emerging Microbes and Infections
Hendra virus (HeV) is a medically important, zoonotic paramyxovirus that emerged over thirty years ago which causes severe, often fatal disease in humans and animals.

Ebola virus surveillance in pigs presenting for slaughter in Uganda [PDF]

, 2017
In 2008, Ebola Reston was discovered to infect pigs in the Philippines. Additionally, pigs have been experimentally infected with Ebola Zaire. Uganda has experienced five Ebola outbreaks with index cases unable to account for their source of infection ...

Technology, inclusivity and the rogue: bats and the war against the ‘invisible enemy’ [PDF]

, 2018
Although tempting to envisage the emerging violence in conservation as either against nature or in defence of it, this paper argues that such violence is increasingly between ‘the included’ and ‘rogues’ in ways that transcend the nature : society binary.

Emerging epidemic viral encephalitides with a special focus on henipaviruses [PDF]

Acta Neuropathologica, 2010
In the last few decades, there is an increasing emergence and re-emergence of viruses, such as West Nile virus, Enterovirus 71 and henipaviruses that cause epidemic viral encephalitis and other central nervous system (CNS) manifestations. The mortality and morbidity associated with these outbreaks are significant and frequently severe. While aspects of

Antibodies to henipavirus or henipa-like viruses in domestic pigs in Ghana, West Africa.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Henipaviruses, Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), have Pteropid bats as their known natural reservoirs. Antibodies against henipaviruses have been found in Eidolon helvum, an old world fruit bat species, and henipavirus-like nucleic acid has been ...

Ecological dynamics of emerging bat virus spillover [PDF]

, 2014
Viruses that originate in bats may be the most notorious emerging zoonoses that spill over from wildlife into domestic animals and humans. Understanding how these infections filter through ecological systems to cause disease in humans is of profound ...

A highly effective ferritin-based divalent nanoparticle vaccine shields Syrian hamsters against lethal Nipah virus

Frontiers in Immunology
The Nipah virus (NiV), a highly deadly bat-borne paramyxovirus, poses a substantial threat due to recurrent outbreaks in specific regions, causing severe respiratory and neurological diseases with high morbidity. Two distinct strains, NiV-Malaysia (NiV-M)

Defining the role of cross-protective antibodies in protection against emerging viruses at the species and sub-species level [PDF]

Emerging viruses often pose a threat to human populations due to the lack of pre-existing immunity. The WHO has prioritised groups of viruses for vaccine research and development, particularly viruses with pandemic potential.
