Reactivity Species : Henipavirus‹...Virus Expression Host : HEK-293 Endotoxin Level :≤ 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method. Background : Henipavirus spp. are enveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses in the family Paramyxovirus1. Five species have been identified, two of which, Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), are highly virulent emerging pathogens with high case-fatality ratios. The other three species, Cedar virus, Ghanaian bat virus, and Mojiang virus are not known to cause human disease. Pteropid bats are the reservoir host. HeV is transmitted by direct contact with infected horses, their fluids, or tissues1. Horses are infected by exposure to pteropid bats. NiV is transmitted by contact with infected pigs or bats and person-to-person. Both HeV and NiV cause severe influenza-like illness that can progress to encephalitis.
