First isolated in 1994, the virus has since been connected to numerous outbreaks of disease in domestic horses and seven human cases. Hendra virus belongs to the genus Henipavirus, which also contains the zoonotic Nipah virus.
Their recent emergence as zoonotic pathogens capable of causing illness and death in domestic animals and humans is a cause of concern. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] In 2009, RNA sequences of three novel viruses in phylogenetic relationship to known henipaviruses were detected in African straw-colored fruit bats ( Eidolon helvum ) in Ghana .
Hendra is a zoonotic (animal-to-human) virus that has only been found in Australia. "Some hantaviruses have case fatality rates of up to 15%, or over 100 times more lethal than COVID-19, ...
