global mammal parasite database version 2.0.	illuminating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of parasites is one of the most pressing issues facing modern science, and is critical for basic science, the global economy, and human health. extremely important to this effort are data on the disease-causing organisms of wild animal hosts (including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths, arthropods, and fungi). here we present an updated version of the global mammal parasite database, a database of the parasites of wild ungulates (artioda ...	2017	28273333
human monkeypox transmitted by a chimpanzee in a tropical rain-forest area of zaire.	a case of monkeypox infection in a six-month-old baby girl who had been bitten by a wild chimpanzee in kivu, zaire, was investigated. the child had not been exposed to any monkeypox-like disease and no cases of such disease had occurred in the surrounding area during previous months. the time of onset of rash was consistent with the virus having been transmitted from the chimpanzee. however, it is still not known whether chimpanzees and other primates or lower mammals are the primary reservoir o ...	1983	6132084
poxviruses isolated from clinically ill and asymptomatically infected monkeys and a chimpanzee.	poxviruses were isolated from the kidneys of an outwardly healthy chimpanzee trapped in an area of the democratic republic of the congo where a case of monkeypox had recently occurred in man, from the kidneys of clinically healthy cynomolgus monkeys in a colony in the netherlands, and from monkeys suffering from monkeypox during outbreaks in colonies in the usa. it was established that two of the three viruses isolated from animals asymptomatically infected-namely, strain chimp-9 from the chimpa ...	1972	4340220
isolation and properties of the causal agent of a new variola-like disease (monkeypox) in man.	the causal agent of a case of disease in man occurring in the democratic republic of the congo with a similar clinical picture to smallpox was isolated and studied. the agent was identified as monkeypox virus. a comparative study of the isolated strain (congo-8) and of viruses isolated from similar cases of illness in liberia (liberia-1 and liberia-2 strains) and sierra leone (v-70 1 266 strain) showed that they were identical. a number of local species of monkeys and apes were examined serologi ...	1972	4340219
