The interaction between the Nipah virus nucleocapsid protein and phosphoprotein regulates virus replication

Abstract Continued outbreaks of Henipaviruses in South Asia and Australia cause severe and lethal disease in both humans and animals. Together, with evidence of human to human transmission for Nipah virus and the lack of preventative or therapeutic measures, its threat to cause a widespread outbreak...
