| 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 |

| pcr detection of ovine herpesvirus-2 dna in indonesian ruminants--normal sheep and clinical cases of malignant catarrhal fever. | malignant catarrhal fever (mcf), a fatal viral disease of cattle and other large ruminants, has a worldwide distribution. there are two forms of the disease, one of which, is caused by alcelaphine herpesvirus-1 (ahv-1) and is derived from wildebeest. the other form is associated with domestic sheep and is caused by ovine herpesvirus-2 (ohv-2). the disease in indonesia is sheep-associated with the preferred livestock of this area, balinese cattle (bos javanicus) and water buffalo (bubalus bubalis ... | 1994 | 7839584 |
| malignant catarrhal fever: an emerging disease in the african buffalo (syncerus caffer). | within the tribe bovini in the subfamily bovinae, the water buffalo (bubalus bubalis), american bison (bison bison), european bison (bubalus bonasus) and yak (bos grunniens) are recognized as species highly susceptible to malignant catarrhal fever (mcf). in contrast, the lack of reports describing clinical mcf in the african buffalo (syncerus caffer) whether free ranging or captive has led to a perception that african buffaloes are resistant to mcf. during the last decade, several cases of mcf i ... | 2015 | 23957274 |
