It’s a new species of virus that’s related to other dangerous viruses such as Nipah and Hendra which have caused serious outbreaks in other parts of the world It’s also distantly related to the measles virus The first known henipavirus, Hendra virus, was identified in Australia in 1994 There have been just seven cases of humans getting infected – four of them were fatal Nipah virus, discovered in Malaysia in 1998, is much more deadly. It has caused 30 outbreaks in south-east Asia, infecting over 600 people with death rates as high as 100% in some cases These viruses usually cause fever and other serious symptoms such as brain swelling and difficulty breathing They are thought to be carried by bats and can spread to humans through their saliva or urine Thanks to new technology that allows scientists to study the genetics of viruses they’ve now found nearly 20 species of henipaviruses around the world These viruses have been found on every continent except Antarctica This shows that henipaviruses are probably common in nature For example, in China, a virus called Mojang virus was linked to the deaths of three workers who were exposed to it in a mine. Another virus, Langya, spread by shrews caused an outbreak in which 35 people got sick – although they all recovered other henipaviruses haven’t caused human infections The rapid growth in our understanding of these viruses comes from improvements in technology and global efforts to study diseases But it also reminds us that viruses can suddenly jump from animals to humans in unpredictable ways Whether a virus can harm humans depends on how well it can infect human cells while others can lead to life-threatening diseases Studying these viruses requires scientists to look closely at their genetic code and run laboratory tests to understand how they work This means they are more adaptable and have a higher chance of jumping from animals to humans in different ways a virus like measles can only infect humans which makes it less likely to spread to other species While there’s no evidence that Camp Hill virus has infected any humans yet – and the chances of it doing so are low – its discovery in North America is a reminder that viruses can emerge anywhere Even though shrews usually live in forests and don’t come into much contact with people the potential for the virus to spread remains a worry the better we’ll be at creating vaccines that can protect us from both known and new threats Keeping up with research and staying prepared is crucial to protecting global health from future outbreaks Researchers at The University of Queensland have identified the first henipavirus in North America.  Dr Rhys Parry from the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences said Camp Hill virus was confirmed in shrews in the US state of Alabama “Henipaviruses have caused serious disease and death in people and animals in other regions,” Dr Parry said “One of the most dangerous is the Hendra virus Australia and has a fatality rate of 70 per cent “Another example is Nipah virus which has recorded fatality rates between 40 and 75 per cent in outbreaks in South-East Asia “The discovery of a henipavirus in North America is highly significant as it suggests these viruses may be more globally distributed than previously thought.” Camp Hill virus was found in northern short-tailed shrews a small mammal with wide distribution across Canada and the US Dr Parry said more research was needed to understand if it was a threat to people “The closest known henipavirus to Camp Hill virus that has caused disease in humans is Langya virus which crossed from shrews to humans in China,” Dr Parry said.  “This indicates that shrew-to-human transmission can occur.” Co-author Dr Ariel Isaacs said developing vaccines for the virus family was a focus for UQ researchers “The next step for this work is to characterise key surface proteins on the virus that are involved in cell entry to broaden our understanding of the virus family and identify better ways to protect against it,” Dr Isaacs said.  The research was completed with help from UQ’s Dr Naphak Modhiran and Professor Daniel Watterson along with members of the Professor Wendy R Hood lab at Auburn University and members of The Gorbunova and Seluanov Laboratory at the University of Rochester The research was published in Emerging Infectious Diseases.  +61 7 3365 1111 Ph. 3365 3333 Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time A second man has been arrested after a father was slashed with a machete during a failed carjacking in Brisbane’s inner-south on the weekend A 48-year-old father told Nine News he had returned home from the gym about 6am on Saturday and was sitting in his BMW on Audrey Street in Camp Hill when he was approached by two men who demanded his keys When the 48-year-old man said he did not have the keys leaving him with lacerations to his chest and arm Paramedics treated the man at the scene before taking him to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition The alleged attackers were captured on home security cameras one wearing a black Tommy Hilfiger hoodie and the other in a navy-blue hoodie “Very lucky an electrician came around the corner and basically waved them down and as that was happening they lunged and cut through my arm and chest,” the father The alleged attackers fled the scene in a Kia Sorento which had been stolen from a Kangaroo Point address about three hours earlier But they travelled only 500 metres to Henderson Street where they dumped the Kia and stole two BMWs Investigations led police to a Redcliffe address where they found one of the stolen BMWs and arrested a 21-year-old man police on patrol spotted the stolen silver BMW320i travelling on Duffield Road in Margate The officers gave chase but had to abandon their pursuit as the driver sped away Police later found the BMW about two kilometres away on Plume Street crashed into a fence with the 23-year-old driver still inside who appeared to be wearing a black hoodie with a Construction Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) slogan on it The 21-year-old man from Petrie has been charged with more than 10 offences attempted armed robbery in company and one count of wounding dangerous operation of a motor vehicle

the green at Camp Hill Bowls Club It wasn’t the unpolished charm of the lowset brick building or the plastic furniture that overwhelmed him – though the club’s nostalgic edges have become more important with each passing year View from Camp Hill Bowls Club of Brisbane’s CBD Here was a venue offering the quiet reticence of suburbia with one of the best views in the whole of the city The unpretentious elements of the club have become so embraced its fame as a bowling green has been superseded by a reputation for social gatherings has saved it from telling a different story Bowling clubs were once a feature of the landscape in suburbs and country towns across Australia with a history that stretches back 150 years Their strong legacy began to waver in the early-to-mid-2000s Then COVID’s arrival was the death knell for many that were already struggling Camp Hill Bowls Club was established in 1944 70 years after the first recorded game of bowls was played in Tasmania’s Sandy Beach “The club has a really strong bowling history There used to be a two-year wait for membership,” Walton says we were probably down to about 30 members [from 300 at its peak] The club hadn’t been kept up or sought out new membership the demographic around Camp Hill was changing too The older-age segment usually associated with the game was dwindling with more families and younger people moving in “That changing demographic hadn’t really been engaged with,” Walton explains “But the committee was very open to a concerted effort to change the club’s direction.” When Camp Hill Bowls Club chair Scott Walton joined the club in 2006 member numbers were down and the club was struggling They decided to hand one of the greens over to the community opening it up for barefoot bowls and installing outdoor seating overlooking Perth Street Park and the city “This simple decision was transformational for the club The reclaimed space was turned into al fresco seating for patrons along the green what is now considered one of the prime positions for a session at the club.” It invited other opportunities: the launch of Anzac Day commemorations and Riverfire celebrations the inaugural Camp Hill Cup to foster community spirit But their boldest commitment to locals landed in 2019 when the club decided to get rid of its poker machines a Melbourne bowling club is struggling to meet the challenges of a dwindling membership base and increasing costs is the unscrupulous developer who wants to turn the club into a souless pokies pit The Camp Hill Bowls Club celebrated its 80th anniversary in August There’s no Bernie Fowler circling over the Camp Hill Bowls Club story but there was a moral tussle between the lure of gambling revenue “It wasn’t a hard decision for us because at the time it felt like the pokies were costing us money,” Walton says The space that once housed the venue’s slot machines is now occupied by casual seating a dad is sitting with his kids enjoying a drink and packet of chips after school pick-up “We toyed with the idea of building something to make them more hidden Walton recalls being asked why they scrapped the pokies by an opposing skip (captain) from one of the bay islands during a match “It’s pretty clearly written into the strategic plan that one of the key items to maintain is the club’s identity,” says Walton.Credit: Morgan Roberts “He told me this figure of how much turnover went through their pokies in a month “I could understand why they wanted to keep them but I just had this horrible feeling of visualising all that money going in there.” Australians spend (and lose) more money gambling across all formats compared with any other country in the world with the largest chunk put into poker machines the nation has 18 per cent of the world’s pokies machines – more than we have ATMs “Getting rid of them was a relief in some ways … they weren’t conducive to the vibe of the community.” but on the back of celebrating its 80th anniversary it casts back to the glory days of membership with the view to attract more players to the club this is where you can score one of the best views of Brisbane’s skyline “We do strive to be a great community venue but we’re also striving to be a great bowling venue with a quality bowling green,” Walton says adding that the club is open for new members of any age and ability

A close relative of the deadly Nipah and Hendra viruses has been detected in North America for the first time — specifically which scientists have named Camp Hill virus was detected in four northern short-tailed shrews (Blarina brevicauda) The animals were caught in 2021 near a town of the same name in Tallapoosa County the animals had been dissected and their organs frozen for later analyses; it was in those analyses that the virus was discovered Related: Deadly Nipah virus kills boy in India, prompts worries over outbreak The discovery raises concerns that henipaviruses may be more widespread than once thought brevicauda shrews — which can be found across central and eastern North America — can harbor these types of viruses along with other germs already confirmed to cause human disease It's possible that Camp Hill virus may pose a risk to humans perhaps spreading through direct contact with infected animals or their feces and urine Get the world’s most fascinating discoveries delivered straight to your inbox the authors of the new paper have cautioned against leaping to such conclusions "There is no evidence to suggest that the provisionally named Camp Hill virus has infected humans, and the likelihood of it doing so remains unknown but is likely low," lead study author Rhys Parry a molecular virologist at the University of Queensland in Australia Although Camp Hill virus belongs to the same genus as Hendra and Nipah viruses — called Henipavirus — it is genetically distinct from both of them Camp Hill virus is more closely related to other shrew-borne henipaviruses seen in Southeast Asia and Europe than bat-borne henipaviruses like Hendra and Nipah This distinction is key because bat-borne henipaviruses tend to infect a wider range of hosts and cause them more harm and they've been known to cause severe disease outbreaks in people brevicauda shrews in North America are able to spread Camp Hill virus to humans They usually inhabit woodland areas where direct encounters with humans would be somewhat rare brevicauda shrews have been found to carry other viruses that can potentially spill over to people but these have never made the leap from these critters to humans —Viruses found in Laos bats are closest known relatives to SARS-CoV-2 —32 diseases you can catch from animals —1st fatal case of Alaskapox may have been tied to stray cat brevicauda shrews already host other zoonotic viruses such as Powassan virus and Camp Ripley virus and that veterinary professionals already handle them with appropriate biosafety measures no additional precautions are required," Parry said Future research should instead focus on trying to isolate the Camp Hill virus and decipher how many types of animals it can and has infected This information could then be used to better assess the potential risk of a spillover to humans DisclaimerThis article is for informational purposes only and is not meant to offer medical advice you will then be prompted to enter your display name Diagnostic dilemma: A rash 'migrated' across a man's body from his anus 'Vaccine rejection is as old as vaccines themselves': Science historian Thomas Levenson on the history of germ theory and its deniers 'Dramatic revision of a basic chapter in algebra': Mathematicians devise new way to solve devilishly difficult equations This Canadian-themed stunner has replaced a humble post-war home with views "unheard of" in the Queensland capital Not many people know about Seven Hills — even Brisbane locals safe and leafy enclave around 5km east of the CBD where people bought land and built homes in the 1950s Many of those original homeowners are now passing away and houses are coming to market In 2021, when Nadia and Luke Paterson got their hands on 16 Miawela Street, Seven Hills a mid-century home that had been "loved but not maintained" The luxurious Ambrose home with five bedrooms and three bathrooms "It was the first time the house had ever been sold and we saw the block as a bit of a unicorn," said Ms Paterson "We have bush views from the front over Seven Hills Reserve We only have a neighbour on one side and that gives us complete privacy around the other parts of our house We get to hear nature all around us." The owners designed the house as their family's "forever home" The Patersons wasted no time in demolishing the original house and rebuilding a very different home on the 607sqm block — a luxurious Ambrose home with five bedrooms and three bathrooms inspired by the properties they'd seen in Canada 16 Miawela Street, Seven Hills planned to make this patch of Seven Hills their permanent home when construction completed in November 2023 Though staying true to the tradition of Seven Hills they're not leaving the area; they plan to buy another post-war house nearby to demolish and rebuild Ms Paterson said they designed the house as their family's "forever home" "This means we've completely specced it out and future-proofed it All of the finishes are expensive — there are natural stones and beautiful handmade Italian tiles And we designed the floor plan so it all makes sense and enhances the views from bush to city while still maintaining that privacy," she said The home boasts an elegant living room complete with wood-burning fireplace a dining area with built-in bench seating and an ensuite master that spans the width of the house There's also a downstairs guest suite a kitchen with butler's pantry plus an entertaining terrace with a BBQ kitchen and views of the mineral pool and city beyond Additional features include two electric car charging outlets and 13 kilowatts of solar power For sale by expressions of interest, the property is attracting plenty of interest from families who love the "exceptional layout" and the contemporary feel of the home, said agent Selina McIntyre at Ray White New Farm yet very homely and inviting all at the same time," Ms McIntyre said She said the location was a "massive selling point" "At the front you have greenery and birds chirping then as soon as you walk through to the back To get those two aspects in one home a 10-minute drive from the city is pretty unheard of." She added that Seven Hills was fast becoming "a prestige area" with good cafes "It's an ideal family suburb."

views, a spa and a heated saltwater pool, drew five registered bidders. Four duelled it out, with most parties, including the vendor, dialling in remotely. The eventual buyer – a local – paid just over the $2.8 million reserve to claim the keys. He was the only active bidder to attend in person. “The house itself wasn’t a new home, and it was quite dated … but Wynnum is just performing so incredibly well and that’s because of the lifestyle it offers,” she said. “It used to be that buyers would call us up asking us to find them a place for just over a million, but now you’re lucky to find a knockdown for $1.2 million.” Despite the strong result, McEwan said the auction was a drawn-out battle, with one bidder on the phone from New Zealand, another on the line from the Northern Territory and the vendors also dialling in from interstate. “It was one of the most bizarre and difficult auctions I’ve had since COVID,” she said. “The buyer who got it emerged a week before the auction. I told him if he was smart, he’d open bidding and take the bull by the horns and control the floor. And that’s exactly what he did. “He opened at $2.2 million and that knocked out one bidder right away. But it took a lot of negotiation, and it went on for about an hour.” The home was one of 200 scheduled auctions in Brisbane in the past week. By Saturday evening, Domain Group recorded a preliminary auction clearance rate of 42 per cent from 122 reported results, while 22 auctions were withdrawn. Withdrawn auctions are counted as unsold properties when calculating the clearance rate. On Thursday evening, Ray White Collective held a unit-only auction event in New Farm, drawing 36 registered bidders across five properties. Three sold under the hammer with two selling in post-auction negotiations. A two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit at 2/22 Arthur Street in Fortitude Valley collected the top sale price of $1.215 million – smashing the reserve by more than $200,000. The apartment last sold in October 2020 for $775,000. Selling agent Frances Charisma said the price was a record for the building and signalled the strength of the roaring unit market. “I’m still in shock. The reserve was $950,000 … our highest offer pre-auction was $940,000,” Charisma said. “This just shows you there’s a lot more demand.” A local man upsizing from a nearby apartment muscled out three other active bidders to secure the home. In Camp Hill, a couple made a motza on a postwar cottage that fetched $2.275 million under the hammer on Saturday. They bought it six years ago as an investment property for $975,000. Auctioneer Peter Burgin, of Place Estate Agents, said the auction of 35 Newman Avenue was the ultimate example of the prosperity available in Brisbane. “I was the auctioneer for this one six years ago and I remember having a bit of an arm wrestle with the vendors to get them to pay it,” he said. 1 Bath1 ParkingView listing “Now six years later it’s sold for $1.3 million more. We expected that on a bad day it might get in the high $1 million range and on a good day in the early $2 millions. “I think the vendors were a bit shell-shocked. They didn’t touch the home at all, and they had a tenant in there the whole time.” The property featured city views and a 577 square metre block. Selling agent Denis Najzar, of Place, said bidding started at $1.85 million with four active bidders battling it out until it sold to a local family for a price just beyond the reserve. In Kedron, a custom-built five-bedroom home on an 868 square metre block at 29 Wood Street collected the city’s top auction result for the weekend, selling for $3.17 million, just above the reserve. 3 Baths2 ParkingView listing Ray White’s Nick Kouparitsas handed the keys to a retired couple from Bridgeman Downs who wanted to be close to their grandchildren. He said the home last sold three years ago for $2.4 million. Bidding started at $2 million, with four buyers offering steady increments until it was called on the market at $2.975 million – in line with the reserve. It then climbed in $10,000 increments until the final sale price. Matthew Tiller, LJ Hooker head of research and economics, said the recent results showed Brisbane’s market remained incredibly active, with buyer demand far outstripping supply. “Across our Brisbane network the auction clearance rates have been elevated at around the 70 per cent mark and we have seen a lot of buyers turning up to auctions and a fair bit of buyer inquiry,” he said. “It’s coming from interstate as well. There are just so many growth drivers.” The information on this website is intended to be of a general nature only and doesn't consider your objectives, financial situation or needs. where we are privileged to live and operate Three new railway stations along the Camp Hill Line in Birmingham according to the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) The opening of the Kings Heath, Moseley Village and Pineapple Road stations has been pushed back several times from the end of 2023, to the end of 2024 and now to the end of 2025 This has been due to “a series of challenges on site” faced by contractor VolkerfitzPatrick These delays have led the WMCA to modify its contract with VolkerFitzpatrick from £27M, as awarded in 2022 according to a recent update on the government Find a Tender portal During a recent visit to the Kings Heath construction site highlighted the significance of the new Kings Heath station which will facilitate passenger services for the first time in over 80 years originally a major corridor for passenger travel and has since only catered to freight and non-stop services Construction is also actively underway at the Moseley Village and Pineapple Road stations The development of Kings Heath includes the installation of two platforms with a footbridge set to arrive in the spring in collaboration with WMCA and Birmingham City Council leads the project alongside the Department of Transport The partnership aims not only to restore passenger services but also to provide a sustainable travel option that could alleviate traffic congestion and reduce pollution levels in the area Parker’s visit included discussions with Matt Powell from the Kings Heath Business Improvement District and representatives from the involved rail authorities and construction firm VolkerFitzpatrick to assess the project’s progress additional funding was secured to ensure the timely reopening of the line In addition to the logistical hurdles of resuming operations on the historical line the construction teams have encountered various environmental challenges Notable obstacles included the relocation of a protected badger sett at Moseley Village the preservation of a Victorian well at Kings Heath and the restoration of a historic wall adjacent to Pineapple Road in Stirchley Coordination efforts were also necessary to ensure safety while working alongside an active railway line Opened as part of the Birmingham and Gloucester railway in 1840 and the reintroduction of these stations is likely to impact the local community positively reviving a significant transport link in the region The stations at will each feature two 6-car platforms with an operational length of 150m alongside a comprehensive array of supporting infrastructure The enhancements aim to provide a modern and efficient transport facility for local residents and commuters Key features planned for each station include: Parker said: “I know how much the community want to see these stations reopened and I am reassured by our partners and contractors that we are making good progress towards completing construction “This will make a huge difference to the people living here giving them access to fast and reliable journeys that avoid traffic congestion on the Alcester Road – making it easier to get to work “They will also bring people into the area and that will support local businesses creating jobs and helping local high streets to thrive and grow Investment in public transport is a key part of my plan to make the West Midlands the best place to live Kings Heath Business Improvement District manager Matt Powell said: “Kings Heath has got so much going for it vibrant high street is right at the centre of that “This is why we are so excited that the railway station is opening again after 80 years Not only will it mean more people on the high street walking to and from it but it’ll make it easier for people to get here opening up even more opportunities for our businesses and residents.” Network Rail Central route director Denise Wetton said: “These three stations will improve access to the railway to many new communities in south Birmingham Direct trains to the city centre will make a huge difference to local people providing a regular and reliable green travel option and reducing congestion on local roads We will continue to support all our partners to open them as soon as possible.” West Midlands Rail customer experience director Jonny Wiseman said: “The new stations on the Camp Hill line will make a real difference to communities in south Birmingham and we are looking forward to running the service The line is set to transform public transport in the city regular and direct service connecting Stirchley Kings Heath and Moseley with Birmingham city centre.” Like what you've read? To receive New Civil Engineer's daily and weekly newsletters click here.
