Hypertension is associated with antibody response and breakthrough infection in health care workers following vaccination with inactivated SARS-CoV-2
In conclusion, our results showed that hypertension is associated with lower antibody titres and breakthrough infection following COVID-19 vaccination. Thus, blood pressure control might be important to improve the efficacy of inactivated virus vaccine.PMID:35660034 | PMC:PMC9135674 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.05.059 (Source: Vaccine)

Synthetic vaccines targeting Mincle through conjugation of trehalose dibehenate
Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 May 31. doi: 10.1039/d2cc02100e. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe covalent fusion of immunostimulatory adjuvants to immunogenic antigens is a promising strategy for the development of effective synthetic vaccines for infectious diseases. Herein, we describe the conjugation of a mycobacterial peptide antigen from the 6 kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT6) to a suitably functionalised trehalose dibehenate (TDB), a potent glycolipid adjuvant targeting macrophage inducible C-type lectin (Mincle).PMID:35638863 | DOI:10.1039/d2cc02100e (Source: Chemical Communications)

Viruses, Vol. 14, Pages 1100: Climate Anomalies and Spillover of Bat-Borne Viral Diseases in the Asia & ndash;Pacific Region and the Arabian Peninsula
In this study, we investigated the potential association between climate factors and anomalies, including El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and land surface temperature anomalies, as well as the emergence and spillover events of bat-borne viral diseases in humans and livestock in the Asia–Pacific region and the Arabian Peninsula. Our findings from time series analyses, logistic regression models, and structural equation modelling revealed that the spillover patterns of the Nipah virus in Bangladesh and the Hendra virus in Australia were differently impacted by climate variability and with dif...

Viruses, Vol. 14, Pages 936: Henipavirus Immune Evasion and Pathogenesis Mechanisms: Lessons Learnt from Natural Infection and Animal Models
ez Nipah henipavirus (NiV) and Hendra henipavirus (HeV) are zoonotic emerging paramyxoviruses causing severe disease outbreaks in humans and livestock, mostly in Australia, India, Malaysia, Singapore and Bangladesh. Both are bat-borne viruses and in humans, their mortality rates can reach 60% in the case of HeV and 92% for NiV, thus being two of the deadliest viruses known for humans. Several factors, including a large cellular tropism and a wide zoonotic potential, con-tribute to their high pathogenicity. This review provides an overview of HeV and NiV pathogenicity mechanisms and provides a summary of their interacti...

Novel Hendra Virus Variant Circulating in Black Flying Foxes and Grey-Headed Flying Foxes, Australia
Emerg Infect Dis. 2022 May;28(5):1043-1047. doi: 10.3201/eid2805.212338.ABSTRACTA novel Hendra virus variant, genotype 2, was recently discovered in a horse that died after acute illness and in Pteropus flying fox tissues in Australia. We detected the variant in flying fox urine, the pathway relevant for spillover, supporting an expanded geographic range of Hendra virus risk to horses and humans.PMID:35447052 | DOI:10.3201/eid2805.212338 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)
