| serological evidence of infection with tana and yaba pox viruses among several species of monkey. | sera from cynomolgus monkeys from malaysia, from indian rhesus monkeys, from various species of monkeys from africa and from south america have been examined for neutralizing antibody to tanapox and yaba viruses. no antibody was found to either virus in the sera of rhesus monkeys or south american monkeys. a certain proportion of sera from cynomolgus monkeys and various species of african monkey showed antibody to one or other of the viruses, but few of the positive sera showed antibody to both. ... | 1974 | 4362411 |
| 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 |
