| lyssavirus surveillance in bats, bangladesh. | lyssavirus surveillance in bats was performed in bangladesh during 2003 and 2004. no virus isolates were obtained. three serum samples (all from pteropus giganteus, n = 127) of 288 total serum samples, obtained from bats in 9 different taxa, neutralized lyssaviruses aravan and khujand. the infection occurs in bats in bangladesh, but virus prevalence appears low. | 2006 | 16704789 |
| 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 |
