Toll-like Receptors in Viral Encephalitis

Viruses, 2021
Viral encephalitis is a rare but serious syndrome. In addition to DNA-encoded herpes viruses, such as herpes simplex virus and varicella zoster virus, RNA-encoded viruses from the families of Flaviviridae, Rhabdoviridae and Paramyxoviridae are important ...

Human Metapneumovirus Infection is Associated with Severe Respiratory Disease in Preschool Children with History of Prematurity

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2016
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a recently discovered respiratory pathogen of the family Paramyxoviridae, the same family as that of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Nipah virus induces two inclusion body populations: Identification of novel inclusions at the plasma membrane.

PLoS Pathogens, 2019
Formation of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs) is a hallmark of infections with non-segmented negative-strand RNA viruses (order Mononegavirales). We show here that Nipah virus (NiV), a bat-derived highly pathogenic member of the Paramyxoviridae family,

Development and laboratory evaluation of a competitive ELISA for serodiagnosis of Nipah and Hendra virus infection using recombinant Nipah glycoproteins and a monoclonal antibody

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionNipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV), of the genus Henipavirus, family Paramyxoviridae, are classified as Risk Group 4 (RG4) pathogens that cause respiratory disease in pigs and acute/febrile encephalitis in humans with high mortality ...

Probable human infection with a newly described virus in the family Paramyxoviridae. The NSW Expert Group.

Emerging infectious diseases, 1998
After an apparently new virus in the family Paramyxoviridae was isolated from pigs in August 1997, an investigation was carried out to assess its risk for humans. More than 250 persons with potential exposure to infected pigs were tested serologically. Two piggery workers with intense occupational exposure had high convalescent-phase antibody titers to

Genome-wide siRNA Screening at Biosafety Level 4 Reveals a Crucial Role for Fibrillarin in Henipavirus Infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
Hendra and Nipah viruses (genus Henipavirus, family Paramyxoviridae) are highly pathogenic bat-borne viruses. The need for high biocontainment when studying henipaviruses has hindered the development of therapeutics and knowledge of the viral infection ...

Human Metapneumovirus: A Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Future Prospects

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
A major cause of respiratory tract infections in infants, adults, the elderly, and people with impaired immune systems is the human metapneumovirus (HMPV). The Paramyxoviridae family was replaced by the Pneumoviridae family in 2016.
