2026-05-21 Genomic Evolution A henipavirus from shrew kidneys was phylogenetically closely related to Langya virus, suggesting potential human infection risk. 42198785
2026-04-07 Genomic Evolution Bayesian phylodynamic analysis of Nipah virus N gene sequences from human and bat samples in Bangladesh identified two major lineages (BD-1 and BD-2) and ongoing diversification consistent with continued genomic evolution and lineage emergence. 41817188
2026-04-07 Zoonotic Surveillance Genomic surveillance of Nipah virus isolates from fruit bats and humans in Bangladesh between 2016 and 2023 revealed active viral evolution and spread. 41817188
2026-04-07 Spillover Event Nipah virus is transmitted from fruit bats to humans in Bangladesh through bat-contaminated food sources. 41817188
2026-04 Molecular Adaptation The V protein of Hendra virus genotype 1 is more effective at antagonizing type-I interferon and shows different nucleocytoplasmic localization compared to the V protein of genotype 2, demonstrating genotype-specific molecular adaptation in immune evasion. 42012879
2026-03-24 Receptor Usage Ephrin-B3 receptor usage contributes critically to Nipah virus pathogenicity compared to Ghana virus. 41824449
2026-03-24 Receptor Usage Ghana virus binds ephrin-B2 but not ephrin-B3, indicating restricted receptor tropism relative to Nipah virus. 41824449
2026-03-24 Host Range Experiment Ghana virus caused no disease or mortality in experimentally infected Syrian golden hamsters, indicating limited pathogenicity in this mammalian model. 41824449
2026-03-24 Host Range Experiment Ghana virus replicated poorly in human cells, more strongly in bat cells, and did not cause disease in Syrian golden hamsters, demonstrating host-specific restriction in replication and pathogenesis. 41824449
2026-03-24 Molecular Adaptation Replacement of Nipah virus receptor-binding protein with that of Ghana virus led to complete attenuation, showing that ephrin-B3 receptor usage drives pathogenicity differences among henipaviruses. 41824449
2026-03-24 Molecular Adaptation Ghana virus shows receptor binding adaptation to ephrin-B2 but not ephrin-B3 and differential replication in human and bat cells, indicating molecular mechanisms underlying host-specific tropism and attenuation. 41824449
2026-03 Reservoir Ecology Horse density and winter occupancy of flying fox roosts were positively associated with Hendra virus spillover risk in agricultural landscapes in Australia. 41235837
2026-03 Spillover Event Hendra virus spillover events were positively associated with horse density and flying fox roost occupancy in agricultural landscapes of southeast Queensland and northeast New South Wales, supporting flying fox-to-horse transmission. 41235837
2026-03 Zoonotic Surveillance Domestic horse density was monitored through field surveys and found to be positively associated with Hendra virus spillover events in agricultural areas of southeastern Australia. 41235837
