The application of genomics to emerging zoonotic viral diseases [PDF]

, 2009
Interspecies transmission of pathogens may result in the emergence of new infectious diseases in humans as well as in domestic and wild animals. Genomics tools such as high-throughput sequencing, mRNA expression profiling, and microarray-based analysis ...

Discovery and Genetic Characterization of Novel Paramyxoviruses Related to the Genus Henipavirus in Crocidura Species in the Republic of Korea [PDF]

, 2021
Paramyxoviruses, negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses, pose a critical threat to human public health. Currently, 78 species, 17 genera, and 4 subfamilies of paramyxoviruses are harbored by multiple natural reservoirs, including rodents, bats ...

Characteristics and Risk Perceptions of Ghanaians Potentially Exposed to Bat-Borne Zoonoses through Bushmeat. [PDF]

, 2014
Emerging zoonotic pathogens from wildlife pose increasing public health threats globally. Bats, in particular, host an array of zoonotic pathogens, yet there is little research on how bats and humans interact, how people perceive bats and their ...

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

Unraveling the molecular grammar and the structural transitions underlying the fibrillation of a viral fibrillogenic domain

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.

Genetic diversity, infection prevalence, and possible transmission routes of Bartonella spp. in vampire bats [PDF]

, 2018
Bartonella spp. are globally distributed bacteria that cause endocarditis in humans and domestic animals. Recent work has suggested bats as zoonotic reservoirs of some human Bartonella infections; however, the ecological and spatiotemporal patterns of ...

Ebolavirus evolution and emergence are associated with land use change

Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Anthropogenic land use change facilitates disease emergence by altering the interface between humans and pathogen reservoirs and is hypothesized to drive pathogen evolution. Here, we show a positive association between land use change and the evolution and dispersal of Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) and Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV).
