| 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 |

| the 1992 foot-and-mouth disease epizootic in the kruger national park. | the monitoring of a foot-and-mouth disease epizootic amongst impala (aepyceros melampus) in the kruger national park is described. infection rates of different sex and age classes of impala within the outbreak focus were determined. seroprevalence rates in other clovenhoofed species were also determined. rna sequencing of a portion of the 1d gene of viruses isolated from sat-2 viruses obtained from diseased impala showed that they were unrelated to previous sat-2 isolates made from animals in th ... | 1996 | 8765068 |
| foot and mouth disease: a look from the wild side. | we review the literature and discuss control options regarding foot and mouth disease (fmd) in wildlife around the world. there are more than 100 species of wild, feral, laboratory, or domesticated animals that have been infected naturally or experimentally with fmd virus. apart from the african buffalo (syncerus caffer) in sub-saharan africa, wildlife has not been demonstrated to play a significant role in the maintenance of fmd. more often, wildlife are passively infected when outbreaks of fmd ... | 2013 | 24502706 |
| 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 |
