Abstract

This document focuses specifically on Hendra virus infection risks for humans and includes: • a review of relevant literature • infection control management advice underpinned by available evidence • process for determining the level of a person’s contact with an infected horse and subsequent risk of infection • descriptions and classifications of agency specific technical terms used by
