Simple Summary This review summarizes fundamental aspects of Nipah virus (NiV)
infection with particular emphasis on disease in swine and its zoonotic potential, focusing on …

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 …

The transmission of pathogens from wild animals to humans is called “zoonotic spillover”.
Most human infectious diseases (60-75%) are derived from pathogens that originally …

Hendra virus (HeV) continues to pose a serious public health concern as spillover events
occur sporadically. Terminally ill horses can exhibit a range of clinical signs including frothy …

Emerging infectious diseases of zoonotic origin are an ever-increasing public health risk
and economic burden. The factors that determine if and when an animal virus is able to spill …

Within host-parasite communities, viral co-circulation and co-infections of hosts are the
norm, yet studies of significant emerging zoonoses tend to focus on a single parasite …

Disease emergence events, epidemics and pandemics all underscore the need to predict
zoonotic pathogen spillover. Because cross-species transmission is inherently hierarchical …

Disease risk mapping is important for predicting and mitigating impacts of bat-borne viruses,
including Hendra virus (Paramyxoviridae: Henipavirus), that can spillover to domestic …

Bat-borne viruses in the Henipavirus genus have been associated with zoonotic diseases of
high morbidity and mortality in Asia and Australia. In Africa, the Egyptian rousette bat …

Over the past two decades, research on bat-associated microbes such as viruses, bacteria
and fungi has dramatically increased. Here, we synthesize themes from a conference …
