Viruses, 2021 Pandemics are a consequence of a series of processes that span scales from viral biology at 10−9 m to global transmission at 106 m. The pathogen passes from one host species to another through a sequence of events that starts with an infected reservoir ...

Trends in Bacterial Pathogens of Bats: Global Distribution and Knowledge Gaps
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Bats have received considerable recent attention for infectious disease research because of their potential to host and transmit viruses, including Ebola, Hendra, Nipah, and multiple coronaviruses. These pathogens are occasionally transmitted from bats to wildlife, livestock, and to humans, directly or through other bridging (intermediate) hosts.

Evolution of Codon Usage Bias in Henipaviruses Is Governed by Natural Selection and Is Host-Specific
Viruses, 2018 Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are among a group of emerging bat-borne paramyxoviruses that have crossed their species-barrier several times by infecting several hosts with a high fatality rate in human beings. Despite the fatal nature of their

Animal Models for Henipavirus Research
Viruses, 2023 Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are zoonotic paramyxoviruses in the genus Henipavirus (HNV) that emerged nearly thirty years ago. Outbreaks of HeV and NiV have led to severe respiratory disease and encephalitis in humans and animals ...

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e2366-e2377, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Due to their geographical isolation and small populations, insular bats may not be able to maintain acute immunizing viruses that rely on a large population for viral maintenance. Instead, endemic transmission may rely on viruses establishing persistent infections within hosts or inducing only short‐lived neutralizing immunity.

Henipavirus RNA in African bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BackgroundHenipaviruses (Hendra and Nipah virus) are highly pathogenic members of the family Paramyxoviridae. Fruit-eating bats of the Pteropus genus have been suggested as their natural reservoir.

PLoS ONE, 2012 The genus Henipavirus includes Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), for which fruit bats (particularly those of the genus Pteropus) are considered to be the wildlife reservoir. The recognition of henipaviruses occurring across a wider geographic and

Pathogenicity and virulence of henipaviruses
Virulence, 2023 Paramyxoviruses are a family of single-stranded negative-sense RNA viruses, many of which are responsible for a range of respiratory and neurological diseases in humans and animals.

Henipavirus Infection in Fruit Bats (Pteropus giganteus), India
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 We tested 41 bats for antibodies against Nipah and Hendra viruses to determine whether henipaviruses circulate in pteropid fruit bats (Pteropus giganteus) in northern India.
