Drivers of disease emergence and spread: Is wildlife to blame? [PDF]

, 2014
The global focus on wildlife as a major contributor to emerging pathogens and infectious diseases (EIDs) in humans and domestic animals is not based on field, experimental or dedicated research, but mostly on limited surveys of literature, opinion and ...

A stochastic assembly model for Nipah virus revealed by super-resolution microscopy

Nature Communications, 2018
The current model for Nipah virus assembly suggests that packaging is orchestrated by the matrix protein at the plasma membrane. Here, using super-resolution microscopy and Nipah virus-like particles, Liu et al.

Nipah Virus Infection in Bats (Order Chiroptera) in Peninsular Malaysia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001
Nipah virus, family Paramyxoviridae, caused disease in pigs and humans in peninsular Malaysia in 1998-99. Because Nipah virus appears closely related to Hendra virus, wildlife surveillance focused primarily on pteropid bats (suborder Megachiroptera), a ...
