| host and viral traits predict zoonotic spillover from mammals. | the majority of human emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, with viruses that originate in wild mammals of particular concern (for example, hiv, ebola and sars). understanding patterns of viral diversity in wildlife and determinants of successful cross-species transmission, or spillover, are therefore key goals for pandemic surveillance programs. however, few analytical tools exist to identify which host species are likely to harbour the next human virus, or which viruses can cross species ... | 2017 | 28636590 |
| vertical transmission of tick-borne encephalitis virus between generations of adapted reservoir small rodents. | vertical transmission of tick-borne encephalitis virus (tbev) between generations of the small rodents-red voles myodes rutilus pallas (previously known as clethrionomys rutilus pallas) was shown for naturally infected reservoir hosts and after experimental infection with different sublethal doses of the viral strains. for wild red voles and for their progeny born in 240-280 days after experimental infection of their parents the tbev was detected in up to 90% of samples by rt-pcr, elisa and bioa ... | 2009 | 19111585 |
| natural tick-borne encephalitis virus infection among wild small mammals in the southeastern part of western siberia, russia. | infestation of small mammals, including common shrews sorex araneus l., field mice apodemus agrarius pallas, and red voles clethrionomus rutilus schreber, with immature ixodes persulcatus ticks and their infection with tickborne encephalitis virus (tbev) were studied in the forest-steppe habitat in the vicinity of novosibirsk, russia. larval ticks parasitize all three host species, but virtually all nymphs were found only on field mice and red voles. detection of the viral rna using reverse tran ... | 2006 | 16584325 |
| tick-borne encephalitis virus diversity in ixodid ticks and small mammals in south-western siberia, russia. | the persistence of tick-borne encephalitis virus (tbev) in nature is maintained by numerous species of reservoir hosts, multiple transmissions between vertebrates and invertebrates, and the virus adaptation to its hosts. our aim: was to compare tbev isolates from ticks and small wild mammals to estimate their roles in the circulation of the viral subtypes. | 2016 | 27303915 |
