| seroprevalence of bovine ephemeral fever virus in domesticated and wildlife species during epidemic and inter-epidemic periods (2000-2009) in israel. | bovine ephemeral fever (bef) is an economically important vector-borne viral disease of cattle and buffalo. it has been reported from most of the world's tropical and subtropical regions. in the last few decades, outbreaks of bef have occurred in israel almost every other year. several serological studies have demonstrated a wide range of wild animal species that are positive for bef virus (befv) antibodies. however, the question of whether wild animals and domesticated species other than cattle ... | 2015 | 23675891 |
| 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 |
