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 ...

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]
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.

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 ...

Henipaviruses: bat-borne paramyxoviruses
(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.

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
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 ...

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
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.
