SUMMARYHenipaviruses were first identified 30 years ago and have since been associated with over 30 outbreaks of disease in humans. Highly pathogenic henipaviruses include Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), classified as biosafety level 4 pathogens. In addition, NiV has been listed as a priority pathogen by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), and the UK Vaccines Research and Development Network (UKVN). Here, we re-examine epidemiological, ecological, clinical, and pathobiological studies of HeV and NiV to provide a comprehensive guide of the current knowledge and application to identify and evaluate countermeasures. We also discuss therapeutic and vaccine development efforts. Furthermore, with case identification, prevention, and treatment in mind, we highlight limitations in research and recognize gaps necessitating additional studies.
