| serological evidence of crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever viral infection among camels imported into egypt. | a serosurvey was conducted during 1986-87 to determine evidence of prior crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever (cchf) viral infection among camels imported into egypt from sudan and kenya. sera obtained from camesl arriving at the aswan quarantine station, southern egypt, were tested for cchf antibody by the agar gel diffusion (agd) and the indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) techniques. cchf viral antibody was demonstrated in 14% (600/4301) of the camels, with both techniques yielding similar result ... | 1990 | 2112203 |
| 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 |
