The fact that the virus was mostly detected in the kidneys of shrews implies that it would target the same organs in people.
The study team concentrated on creating vaccinations for this virus family, according to co-author Dr. Ariel Isaacs.
Nipah and Hendra are two examples of henipaviruses that infect cells by binding to certain proteins on the host cell’s surface.
then attach themselves to cell receptors using a protein called the G protein, and then fuse their membrane with the membrane of the host cell using.
A different protein called the F protein. This makes it possible for the virus to enter the cell and begin growing.
According to Dr. Isaacs, the next stage of this research will be to examine the crucial viral surface proteins that help in cell entry in order to
