Hendra virus RNA
Active
Description
The Hendra virus (HeV) is an emerging zoonotic infection in Queensland, Australia. HeV is a Henipavirus that commonly infects Pteropid fruit bats, and more recently, horses, humans, and sporadically to date, dogs. The mode of transmission is believed to be HeV particles in bat urine that are directly taken up by an intermediate host. Transmission of HeV from horses to humans likely , occurs via spread of aerosolized infectious droplets during the final stages of the infection. In humans, HeV infection initially presents with general respiratory symptoms, followed by fulminant encephalitis occurring many months later. The case fatality rate in humans is approximately 60%.
