    Abstract Accurate and timely diagnosis of Nipah virus (NiV) requires rapid, inexpensive, and robust diagnostic tests to control spread of disease. Current state of the art technologies are slow and require laboratory infrastructure that may not be available in all endemic settings. Here we report the development and comparison of three rapid NiV molecular diagnostic tests based on reverse transcription recombinase-based isothermal amplification coupled with lateral flow detection. These tests include a simple and fast one-step sample processing step that inactivates the BSL-4 pathogen, enabling safe testing without the need for multi-step RNA purification. The rapid NiV tests targeted the Nucleocapsid protein (N) gene with analytical sensitivity down to 1,000 copies/μL for synthetic NiV RNA and did not cross-react with RNA of other flaviviruses or Chikungunya virus, which can clinically present with similar febrile symptoms. Two tests detected 50,000-100,000 TCID

    Abstract Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV) are henipaviruses that can cause fatal encephalitis in humans. Many animal models have been used to study henipavirus pathogenesis. In the mouse, HeV infection has previously shown that intranasal challenge can lead to neurological infection, however mice similarly challenged with NiV show no evidence of virus infecting the brain. We generated recombinant HeV (rHeV) and NiV (rNiV) where selected proteins were switched to examine their role in neuroinvasion in the mouse. These viruses displayed similar growth kinetics when compared to wildtype in vitro. In the mouse, infection outcomes with recombinant virus did not differ to infection outcomes of wildtype viruses. Virus was detected in the brain of 5/30 rHeV-challenged mice, but not rNiV-challenged mice. To confirm the permissiveness of mouse neurons to these viruses, primary mouse neurons were successfully infected in vitro, suggesting that other pathobiological factors contribute to the differences in disease outcomes in mice.

    Abstract Sarbecoviruses such as SARS and SARS-CoV-2 have been responsible for two major outbreaks in humans, the latter resulting in a global pandemic. While sarbecoviruses primarily cause an acute respiratory infection, they have been shown to infect the nervous system. However, mechanisms of sarbecovirus neuroinvasion and neuropathogenesis remain unclear. In this study, we examined the infectivity and trans-synaptic transmission potential of the sarbecoviruses SARS and SARS-CoV-2 in human stem cell-derived neural model systems. We demonstrated limited ability of sarbecoviruses to infect and replicate in human stem cell-derived neurons. Furthermore, we demonstrated an inability of sarbecoviruses to transmit between synaptically connected human stem cell-derived neurons. Finally, we determined an absence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in olfactory neurons in experimentally infected ferrets. Collectively, this study indicates that sarbecoviruses exhibit low potential to infect human stem cell-derived neurons, lack an ability to infect ferret olfactory neurons, and lack an inbuilt molecular mechanism to utilise retrograde axonal trafficking and trans-synaptic transmission to spread within the human nervous system.

    Abstract Henipaviruses, Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV), are highly pathogenic zoonotic agents that pose a serious health risk to human life, and as such are restricted to physical containment 4 (PC4) laboratories. For further analysis of virus-infected biological specimens, it is necessary to ensure absolute inactivation of any infectious virus present before removal from the PC4 laboratory. To evaluate the inactivation of HeV and NiV within infected samples, two chemical inactivation methods were assessed. Henipavirus-infected cell monolayers treated with 4 % paraformaldehyde (PFA) showed the complete inactivation of infectious virus, with an inactivation period of 15 min resulting in more than 8-log decrease in infectious titre. NiV-infected tissue samples treated with 10 % neutral-buffered formalin (NBF) showed a complete reduction of infectious virus in 7/8 ferret organs incubated for 24 h, with the remaining tissue demonstrating complete virus inactivation after 48 h. The chemical inactivation methods described herein evaluated two simple methods of henipavirus inactivation, resulting in the complete inactivation of infectious virus - an essential requirement for the safe removal and handling of biological samples from the PC4 laboratory.

    Abstract New solutions are necessary for the singular global health security threat formed by endemic, epidemic, and emerging/re-emerging zoonoses, coupled with epizootic and enzootic transboundary animal diseases (TADs). This One Health issue is related to the daily interactions between wildlife, domesticated and indigenous livestock, and humans primarily associated with global trade, transboundary co-movement of humans and diverse livestock/livestock products, and agriculture production intensification and penetration into previously uninhabited areas. The World Health Organization defines Risk Group 3 (RG-3) and RG-4 pathogens as mainly viruses but also bacteria that serve as the foundation for approximately 60% of emerging infectious diseases that are zoonoses. The World Organisation for Animal Health defines trade-notifiable TADs, and subsets of these are zoonotic. Livestock vaccination policies mainly focus on TADs that are promulgated by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and government agriculture agencies. The development, licensure, and product manufacturing of next-generation molecular-based RG-3 and RG-4 veterinary vaccines largely ignored by the global animal health biopharmaceutical sector can have an important positive impact on food security and One Health. There have been sharp increases in the global demand for livestock meat and milk products, especially in low- and middle-income countries in Africa and Asia. This relatively recent market driver-coupled with scientific advances in human EID and zoonotic disease vaccine platform technologies and increases in the number of high (US biosafety level 3 agriculture) and maximum (US animal biosafety level 4) biocontainment facilities with supporting workforce capabilities-offers new investment opportunities to the animal health biopharmaceutical sector. Moreover, a growing number of One Health public-private partnerships have moved the net present value calculus in favor of the financial feasibility of RG-3 and RG-4 veterinary vaccine product development and licensure. This article highlights the challenges and opportunities in the use of high and maximum biocontainment facilities in developing and licensing RG-3 and RG-4 veterinary vaccines that are safe and effective against epizootic and enzootic TADs and zoonotic diseases.

    Abstract The Henipavirus genus represents a group of paramyxoviruses that are some of the deadliest of known human and veterinary pathogens. Hendra and Nipah viruses are zoonotic pathogens that can cause respiratory and encephalitic illness in humans with mortality rates that exceed 70%. Over the past several years, we have seen an increase in the number of cases and an altered clinical presentation of Hendra virus in naturally infected horses. Recent increase in the number of cases has also been reported with human Nipah virus infections in Bangladesh. These factors, along with the recent discovery of henipa and henipa-like viruses in Africa, Asia and South and Central America adds, a truly global perspective to this group of emerging viruses.
