Document: T he Hendra virus (HeV) is an emerging zoonotic infection in Queensland, Australia (1Ã3). First identified in 1994, it is associated with a human fatality rate of 60% (4) . Traditionally infecting fruit bats, recent host amplification of HeV in infected equines is purported to underlie the spate of fatal outbreaks of HeV infection among exposed humans in Queensland, Australia (5). To prevent further outbreaks, Biosecurity Australia (the chief health surveillance agency in Australia) commissioned the successful and rapid development of an equine vaccine against HeV to preclude the incidence of additional human cases (6) .
