“The discovery that memory B cells and antibodies specific to [Nipah] persist 20 years post-infection suggests that vaccines ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

Human study aims to find first-ever defence to mitigate risk of zoonotic pathogen The first in-humans clinical trial of a ...

The advance, described Jan. 20 in Cell, brings scientists a step closer to developing much-needed medicines.Currently, there are no vaccines to prevent or mitigate infection with the Nipah virus ...

Mar. 4, 2022 — 3D structural findings are reported on a critical component of the Nipah virus' infection mechanism, and how antibodies home in on an important part of the machinery that attaches ...

Researchers profile the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells show how changes in the viral polymerase — a protein involved in viral ...

The country is highly vulnerable to zoonotic diseases like avian flu, leptospirosis, and, notably, Nipah virus. Nipah virus (NiV), which emerged as a zoonotic threat over the past 25 years ...

"Elucidating both the unique and shared characteristics of the Nipah virus polymerases in comparison to other viral polymerases, our study provides critical insights that have the potential to ...

Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...
