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.

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 ...

Subclinical infection without encephalitis in mice following intranasal exposure to Nipah virus-Malaysia and Nipah virus-Bangladesh [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: Nipah virus and Hendra virus are closely related and following natural or experimental exposure induce similar clinical disease. In humans, encephalitis is the most serious outcome of infection and, hitherto, research into the pathogenesis of

Did Neoliberalizing West African Forests Produce a New Niche for Ebola? [PDF]
, 2015 A recent study introduced a vaccine that controls Ebola Makona, the Zaire ebolavirus variant that has infected 28,000 people in West Africa. We propose that even such successful advances are insufficient for many emergent diseases.

Germline-like predecessors of broadly neutralizing antibodies lack measurable binding to HIV-1 envelope glycoproteins: Implications for evasion of immune responses and design of vaccine immunogens [PDF]
, 2009 Several human monoclonal antibodies (hmAbs) including b12, 2G12, and 2F5 exhibit relatively potent and broad HIV-1-neutralizing activity. However, their elicitation in vivo by vaccine immunogens based on the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) has not been

Monomeric ephrinB2 binding induces allosteric changes in Nipah virus G that precede its full activation. [PDF]
, 2017 Nipah virus is an emergent paramyxovirus that causes deadly encephalitis and respiratory infections in humans. Two glycoproteins coordinate the infection of host cells, an attachment protein (G), which binds to cell surface receptors, and a fusion (F ...

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
