Reprogrammed Pteropus Bat Stem Cells Present Distinct Immune Signature and are Highly Permissive for Henipaviruses

open access: yes, 2020
Bats are unique among mammals due to the ability of powered flight and exceptional longevity. They are also asymptomatic hosts for numerous viruses, including recently emerged zoonotic Henipaviruses Nipah and Hendra, which are highly pathogenic for ...

Dissecting Henipavirus W proteins conformational and fibrillation properties: contribution of their N‐ and C‐terminal constituent domains

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 3, Page 556-581, February 2025.
The W proteins of Nipah and Hendra viruses exhibit fibrillation abilities in vitro, which have been attributed to the intrinsically disordered N‐terminal domain (NTD). Our research shows that the C‐terminal domain (CTD) of both viruses is intrinsically disordered and non‐fibrillogenic.

Tetracistronic minigenomes elucidate a functional promoter for Ghana virus and unveils Cedar virus replicase promiscuity for all henipaviruses [PDF]

open access: yes
Batborne henipaviruses, such as Nipah and Hendra viruses, represent a major threat to global health due to their propensity for spillover, severe pathogenicity, and high mortality rate in human hosts.

The Current Pathogenicity and Potential Risk Assessment of Nipah Virus as Potential Cause of “Disease X”: A Narrative Review

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the potential for a severe international epidemic and introduced the term “Disease X” to classify pathogens that not yet identified. The Nipah virus (NiV) is highly dangerous due to its zoonotic nature, high mortality rate, and ability to cause severe clinical symptoms in ...

A Recombinant Chimeric Cedar Virus-Based Surrogate Neutralization Assay Platform for Pathogenic Henipaviruses

open access: yes, 2023
The henipaviruses, Nipah virus (NiV), and Hendra virus (HeV) can cause fatal diseases in humans and animals, whereas Cedar virus is a nonpathogenic henipavirus.

Henipaviruses: bat-borne paramyxoviruses

open access: yesMicrobiology Australia, 2017
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Found on every continent except Antarctica, bats are one of the most abundant, diverse and geographically widespread vertebrates globally, making up approximately 20% of all known extant mammal species1,2.

Matrix proteins from henipaviruses with conserved Lysine K258A interact with IKKε and inhibit IKKε-mediated IFNβ induction.

open access: yes, 2016
A) Matrix proteins from henipaviruses inhibit IKKε-mediated IFNβ induction. HEK293T cells were transfected with IFNβ luciferase reporter and a Renilla control plasmid, in the presence or absence of NiV-M, HeV-M, GhV-M or CedV-M and IKKε, followed by ...

The Unique Immune System of Bats: An Evolutionary Analysis and Bibliometric Study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
Through the evolutionary and bibliometric analyses, this study identified several critical immune genes and signaling pathways related to bat immunity. Currently, research on the immune system of bats primarily focuses on the themes of “efficient antiviral responses” and “inflammation suppression.” ABSTRACT Bats exhibit a greater capacity to tolerate ...

Current progress towards prevention of Nipah and Hendra disease in humans: A scoping review of vaccine and monoclonal antibody candidates being evaluated in clinical trials

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 354-364, May 2024.
Abstract Objectives Nipah and Hendra are deadly zoonotic diseases with pandemic potential. To date, no human vaccine or monoclonal antibody (mAb) has been licensed to prevent disease caused by these pathogens. The aim of this scoping review was to identify and describe all Phase I, II, and III clinical trials of vaccine candidates or mAbs candidates ...

Structural basis for antibody recognition of vulnerable epitopes on Nipah virus F protein

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Henipaviruses such as Nipah virus (NiV) cause severe encephalitis with high fatality rates in humans. NiV fusion (F) glycoprotein is a key target of the host immune response. Here, Byrne et al.
