| [prevalence of flavivirus antibodies in alouatta caraya primate autochthonous of argentina]. | flavivirus constitute a human health problem in our country. primates are known to participate in the maintenance of dengue and yellow fever viruses. however, these animals play a role which still remains to be determined in the maintenance of other viruses with potential pathogenicity for human beings and/or animals. detección of antibodies was performed for different flavivirus in 105 sera samples of alouatta caraya primates by the hemagglutination inhibition (hi) test. the neutralization (nt) ... | 2000 | 11050814 |
| serological evidence for saint louis encephalitis virus in free-ranging new world monkeys and horses within the upper paraná river basin region, southern brazil. | saint louis encephalitis virus (slev) primarily occurs in the americas and produces disease predominantly in humans. this study investigated the serological presence of slev in nonhuman primates and horses from southern brazil. | 2014 | 25075477 |
| 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 |
| predicting the global mammalian viral sharing network using phylogeography. | understanding interspecific viral transmission is key to understanding viral ecology and evolution, disease spillover into humans, and the consequences of global change. prior studies have uncovered macroecological drivers of viral sharing, but analyses have never attempted to predict viral sharing in a pan-mammalian context. using a conservative modelling framework, we confirm that host phylogenetic similarity and geographic range overlap are strong, nonlinear predictors of viral sharing among ... | 2020 | 32385239 |
