| characterization of the complete genome of the tupaia (tree shrew) adenovirus. | the members of the family adenoviridae are widely spread among vertebrate host species and normally cause acute but innocuous infections. special attention is focused on adenoviruses because of their ability to transform host cells, their possible application in vector technology, and their phylogeny. the primary structure of the genome of tupaia adenovirus (tav), which infects tupaia spp. (tree shrew) was determined. tree shrews are taxonomically assumed to be at the base of the phylogenetic tr ... | 2003 | 12634391 |
| 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 |
