| serosurvey for selected virus infections of wild carnivores in taiwan and vietnam. | serum samples from two leopard cats (felis bengalensis) and four formosan gem-faced civets (paguma larvata taivana) in taiwan, september 1995, and nine leopard cats in vietnam, august and december 1997, were examined for the prevalence of antibodies against feline parvovirus, feline herpesvirus type 1, feline calicivirus and feline immunodeficiency virus. all civets and nine of 11 leopard cats were shown to have antibodies against feline parvovirus (fpv), and fpv's were isolated from mononuclear ... | 1999 | 10479095 |
| 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 |
| global mammal parasite database version 2.0. | illuminating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of parasites is one of the most pressing issues facing modern science, and is critical for basic science, the global economy, and human health. extremely important to this effort are data on the disease-causing organisms of wild animal hosts (including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths, arthropods, and fungi). here we present an updated version of the global mammal parasite database, a database of the parasites of wild ungulates (artioda ... | 2017 | 28273333 |
| distribution of carnivore protoparvovirus 1 in free-living leopard cats (prionailurus bengalensis chinensis) and its association with domestic carnivores in taiwan. | carnivore protoparvovirus 1 (cppv-1) is widespread among free-living carnivores, and cppv-1 infection may directly or indirectly impact on the population of endangered carnivore species. in this study, we used molecular screening of viral capsid protein 2 (vp2) from 2015 to 2017, to assess the prevalence of cppv-1 infection in 9 live-trapped (lt) and 17 vehicle collision (vc)-affected free-living leopard cats (prionailurus bengalensis chinensis). in addition, we conducted the phylogenetic analys ... | 2019 | 31479483 |
