A conserved motif in Henipavirus P/V/W proteins drives the fibrillation of the W protein from Hendra virus. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract 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.

A Survey of Henipavirus Tropism—Our Current Understanding from a Species/Organ and Cellular Level
Viruses, 2023 Henipaviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses that have been shown to be virulent in several species, including humans, pigs, horses, and rodents. Isolated nearly 30 years ago, these viruses have been shown to be of particular concern to public health ...

Feline morbillivirus infection associated with fatal encephalitis in a Bengal cat
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 2510-2513, November/December 2023., 2023 Abstract Feline morbillivirus (FeMV) is a recently discovered morbillivirus of the family Paramyxoviridae, which include several highly contagious viruses with zoonotic potential. In this case report we describe the detection of FeMV in archived brain tissue of a 2‐month‐old Bengal cat with nonsuppurative encephalitis from the year 2011 in Switzerland ...

Hendra and Nipah Virus Infection in Cultured Human Olfactory Epithelial Cells
mSphere, 2017 Henipaviruses are emerging zoonotic viruses and causative agents of encephalitis in humans. However, the mechanisms of entry into the central nervous system (CNS) in humans are not known.

Evidence of henipavirus infection in West African fruit bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 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

Henipaviruses and lyssaviruses target nucleolar treacle protein and regulate ribosomal RNA synthesis
Traffic, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 146-157, March 2023., 2023 Synopsis statement: The nucleolus is a common target of RNA viruses, but the roles and significance of this remain unresolved. Previously we found the Hendra virus (a Henipavirus) M protein targets a subnucleolar compartment and interacts with Treacle, impairing ribosome biogenesis.

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 Spillovers of Nipah virus (NiV) from Pteropus bats to humans occurs frequently in Bangladesh, but the risk for spillover into other animals is poorly understood. We detected NiV antibodies in cattle, dogs, and cats from 6 sites where spillover human NiV

Ribonucleoprotein transport in Negative Strand RNA viruses
Biology of the Cell, Volume 115, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 The genome replication of Negative‐sense, single‐stranded RNA viruses most‐often segregate in membrane‐less environments called inclusion bodies (IBs). These “organelles” usually locate far from the cell surface from where new virions are released. Here, for each viral family, we discuss how the genome progeny is transported from the IBs to reach the ...

The distribution of henipaviruses in Southeast Asia and Australasia: is Wallace's line a barrier to Nipah virus? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Nipah virus (NiV) (Genus Henipavirus) is a recently emerged zoonotic virus that causes severe disease in humans and has been found in bats of the genus Pteropus.
