Architecture of the Hendra virus nucleocapsid and implications for replication [ 2015 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Fasseli Coulibaly (Principal investigator)

Brief description Hendra virus causes sporadic fatal outbreaks in horses, which may result in human deaths through direct contact with infected animals. The unanticipated surge of Hendra cases since mid-2011, the broad host range of the virus and the discovery of other related viruses worldwide highlight the epidemic potential of hendra-related paramyxoviruses. To improve our preparedness against paramyxoviruses, this Project aims at determining the structure of the viral replication machinery.
