| 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 |
| experimental superinfection of a lesser malayan mousedeer (tragulus javanicus) persistently infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus. | a lesser malayan mousedeer (tragulus javanicus), persistently infected with noncytopathogenic bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) type 1f, was experimentally superinfected with a cytopathogenic isolate of bvdv type 1c, which antigenically partially matched the endogenous strain. within the observational period of 125 days after superinfection, the animal did not demonstrate any clinical signs of the disease and/or significant changes in blood values. neutralizing antibodies were detected at 35 an ... | 2008 | 18432109 |
