| an attempt to define the host range for african horse sickness virus (orbivirus, reoviridae) in east africa, by a serological survey in some equidae, camelidae, loxodontidae and carnivore. | a survey was carried out in horse, zebra, elephant, camel, sheep and goat and wild carnivore sera for virus-serum neutralising antibody to the nine type strains of african horse sickness virus. antibody was found amongst the horse, zebra and elephant sera to all nine different strains. no antibody was detected in any sera from camels, sheep and goats. none was found in sera from hyaena and jackals in this series but had been detected earlier. | 1992 | 1615634 |
| 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 |
