Hendra and Nipah Virus Infections
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2000The most important clinical and pathological manifestation of Hendra virus infection in horses and humans is that of severe interstitial pneumonia caused by viral infection of small blood vessels. The virus is also capable of causing nervous disease. Hendra virus is not contagious in horses and is spread by close contact with body fluids, such as froth

Emergence of Nipah Virus in Malaysia
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000Abstract: A pig‐borne virus causing viral encephalitis amongst human beings in Malaysia was detected in 1997 by the Ministry of Health. Initially, the disease was considered to be Japanese encephalitis. Subsequently, it was thought to be a Hendra‐like viral encephalitis, but on 10th April, 1999 the Minister of Health announced this mysterious and ...

The pandemic potential of Nipah virus
Antiviral Research, 2013(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Nipah virus, a paramyxovirus whose wildlife reservoir is Pteropus bats, was first discovered in a large outbreak of acute encephalitis in Malaysia in 1998 among persons who had contact with sick pigs. Apparently, one or more pigs was infected from bats, and the virus then spread efficiently from pig to
