Abstract: 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… read more here.

Abstract: Modelling approaches aimed at identifying unknown hosts of zoonotic pathogens have the potential to make high‐impact contributions to global strategies for zoonotic risk surveillance. However, geographical and taxonomic biases in host–pathogen associations affect the reliability… read more here.
