Inferring Staphylococcus aureus host species and cross-species transmission from a genome-based model [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen that can colonize humans and various animals. However, the host-associated determinants of S. aureus remain uncertain, which leads to difficulties in inferring its host species and cross-species ...

Cross‐species transmission of deltacoronavirus and the origin of porcine deltacoronavirus [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 Deltacoronavirus is the last identified Coronaviridae subfamily genus. Differing from other coronavirus (CoV) genera, which mainly infect birds or mammals, deltacoronaviruses (δ‐CoVs) reportedly infect both animal types.

Primate malarias as a model for cross-species parasite transmission
eLife, 2022 Parasites regularly switch into new host species, representing a disease burden and conservation risk to the hosts. The distribution of these parasites also gives insight into characteristics of ecological networks and genetic mechanisms of host-parasite

Facilitated cross-species transmission of prions in extraneural tissue
Science, 2012 Prions are infectious pathogens essentially composed of PrPSc, an abnormally folded form of the host-encoded prion protein PrPC. Constrained steric interactions between PrPSc and PrPC are thought to provide prions with species specificity and to control ...
