| 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 |
| viruses other than arenaviruses from west african wild mammals. factors affecting transmission to man and domestic animals. | at least thirty-seven different viruses have been isolated from wild mammals in west africa since 1962. some of these, including lassa virus, are already known to cause serious human morbidity and mortality. crimean haemorrhagic fever-congo virus, dugbe virus, mokola virus, and a smallpox-like agent from a gerbil in dahomey are briefly discussed. an account of social and ecologic factors affecting man, domestic animals, and their interaction with wild mammals is given. | 1975 | 1085217 |
