A key region of molecular specificity orchestrates unique ephrin-B1 utilization by Cedar virus
Life Science Alliance, 2020 An expanded hydrophobic cavity within the structurally constrained receptor-binding site of the Cedar virus attachment glycoprotein facilitates idiosyncratic utilization of ephrin-B1. The emergent zoonotic henipaviruses, Hendra, and Nipah are responsible

Structural disorder within Henipavirus nucleoprotein and phosphoprotein: from predictions to experimental assessment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Henipaviruses are newly emerged viruses within the Paramyxoviridae family. Their negative-strand RNA genome is packaged by the nucleoprotein (N) within alpha-helical nucleocapsid that recruits the polymerase complex made of the L protein and the ...

Diverse hosts, diverse immune systems: Evolutionary variation in bat immunology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1550, Issue 1, Page 151-172, August 2025.Bats are recognized to have distinct immune systems from other vertebrates that may allow them to host virulent pathogens without showing disease. However, these flying mammals are also incredibly diverse, such that bats should not be expected to be immunologically homogenous.

Indirect ELISA based on Hendra and Nipah virus proteins for the detection of henipavirus specific antibodies in pigs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) belong to the genus Henipavirus in the family Paramyxoviridae. Henipavirus infections were first reported in the 1990's causing severe and often fatal outbreaks in domestic animals and humans in Southeast Asia and

From Bat to Worse: The Pivotal Role of Bats for Viral Zoonosis
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2025.Thanks to a dampened inflammatory innate immune response, various Chiropteran (bat) species frequently carry ‐ without showing symptoms – diverse viruses that can cause severe diseases in humans. The reasons why bats are a pivotal virus reservoir for emerging viral diseases are discussed in this Lilliput contribution.

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

Protein 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.
