Abstract
This review discusses the history, epidemiology, diagnostics, clinical presentation in humans, as well as control and prevention measures, of the high-profile viruses Hendra virus (HeV) and Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV). Since the discovery of HeV and ABLV in the 1990s, these viruses have only caused disease in areas where spill-over hosts, including humans, encounter the reservoir host.
