This invention relates to Hendra virus and Nipah virus immunogenic compositions and methods of use. The invention further relates to immunogenic compositions comprising Hendra virus G glycoprotein, and methods of protecting against Nipah virus infection and disease. The invention also relates to methods of distinguishing subjects vaccinated with the immunogenic compositions of the invention from those infected with Hendra and/or Nipah virus.

The invention related to isolated peptides including a binding domain of the viral phosphoprotein (P) subunit to the viral RNA free nucleoprotein (N.sup.0) which has the property to inhibit the replication of viruses from the subfamily Paramyxovirinae (like Henipavirus, Rubulavirus or Morbillivirus). These isolated peptides may be used for the prevention or the treatment of Paramyxovirinae infection.
