=== Summary ===
This paper reviews the pathogenesis, replication cycle, epidemiology, genomics, and host responses of henipaviruses, including Nipah (NiV), Hendra (HeV), Langya (LayV), Gamak (GAKV), and CedV.

=== Key Findings ===
* Henipaviruses are responsible for a range of respiratory and neurological diseases in humans and animals.
* NiV and HeV are maintained in fruit bat reservoirs and can spillover into humans or animals.
* Recent advances in surveillance have revealed a high number of henipaviral genome sequences distributed across most continents.
* Emerging henipaviruses include Langya (LayV) and Mojiang (MojV), which infect shrews and rats, respectively.

=== Methodology ===
* '''Study Type:''' Review

=== Topics ===
Epidemiology, Clinical, Virology

=== Relevance ===
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on henipaviruses, which are important for understanding the emergence and potential threats posed by these viruses.
