Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are biosafety level 4 zoonotic pathogens causing
severe and often fatal neurological and respiratory disease. These agents have been …

Henipaviruses are zoonotic viruses, including some highly pathogenic and capable of
serious disease and high fatality rates in both animals and humans. Hendra virus and Nipah …

Several examples of high-impact cross-species transmission of newly emerging or re-
emerging bat-borne viruses, such as Sudan virus, Nipah virus, and severe acute respiratory …

Pathogens can spill over and infect new host species by overcoming a series of ecological
and biological barriers. Hendra virus (HeV) circulates in Australian flying foxes and provides …

Hendra virus (HeV) belongs to the family Paramyxoviridae, under the genus Henipavirus
(named after Hendra and Nipah viruses). 1 Paramyxoviruses are large, enveloped, negative …

Bats are natural host reservoirs and have adapted a unique innate immune system that
permits them to host many viruses without exhibiting symptoms. Notably, bat interferon …

Prediction and management of zoonotic pathogen spillover requires an understanding of
infection dynamics within reservoir host populations. Transmission risk is often assessed …

ABSTRACT Ephrin-B2 (EFNB2) is a ligand for six Eph receptors in humans and functions as
a cell entry receptor for several henipaviruses including the Nipah virus (NiV), a pathogenic …

Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have led to the discovery of a
plethora of previously unknown viruses in animal samples. Some of these newly detected …

Hendra virus disease (HeVD) is an emerging zoonosis in Australia, resulting from the
transmission of Hendra virus (HeV) to horses from Pteropus bats. Vaccine uptake for horses …
