evidence of infection by viruses in small british field rodents.	four populations of small wild british rodents were studied by capture--re-capture methods over a period of three years. samples of blood were taken from these animals and tested for antibodies to nine viruses. animals were removed from another 11 sites around the uk, and immunosuppressed. samples of tissue from these animals were tested for the presence of viruses by passage in laboratory mice and serum samples from some of them were tested for antibody to the nine viruses. indications were fou ...	1980	6244344
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
