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
serological evidence of infection by pichinde virus among laboratory workers.	a total of 44 laboratory workers were examined for serological evidence of infection by pichinde virus. complement-fixing antibodies were detected in the sera of 6 of 13 (46%) persons working with the virus but not among 31 persons not working with the virus. serological evidence of infection was greatest among those workers exposed to concentrated virus. no distinct illness could be associated with the infection.	1974	4856825
