Animal morbilliviruses and their cross-species transmission potential

Current Opinion in Virology, 2020
Like measles virus (MV), whose primary hosts are humans, non-human animal morbilliviruses use SLAM (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule) and PVRL4 (nectin-4) expressed on immune and epithelial cells, respectively, as receptors. PVRL4's amino acid sequence is highly conserved across species, while that of SLAM varies significantly.

Cross‐species transmission of the newly identified coronavirus 2019‐nCoV [PDF]

Journal of Medical Virology, 2020
Abstract The current outbreak of viral pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, China, was caused by a novel coronavirus designated 2019‐nCoV by the World Health Organization, as determined by sequencing the viral RNA genome. Many initial patients were exposed to wildlife animals at the Huanan seafood wholesale market, where poultry, snake ...

Emergence and genomic analysis of a novel ostrich-origin GPV-related parvovirus in China

Poultry Science, 2022
: In recent years, ostrich disease characterized by paralysis and diarrhea has been circulating in some regions of China, causing huge economic losses to the ostrich breeding industry. In our study, clinical samples from diseased ostriches were collected,

Cross-Species Pathogen Transmission and Disease Emergence in Primates [PDF]

EcoHealth, 2009
Many of the most virulent emerging infectious diseases in humans, e.g., AIDS and Ebola, are zoonotic, having shifted from wildlife populations. Critical questions for predicting disease emergence are: (1) what determines when and where a disease will first cross from one species to another, and (2) which factors facilitate emergence after a successful ...

Bats in ecosystems and their Wide spectrum of viral infectious potential threats: SARS-CoV-2 and other emerging viruses

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021
Bats have populated earth for approximately 52 million years, serving as natural reservoirs for a variety of viruses through the course of evolution.

Cross-species transmission of poultry pathogens in backyard farms: ducks as carriers of chicken viruses

, 2019
In backyard farms of Lao People’s Democratic Republic, mixed-species rearing of poultry is a breeding-ground for cross-species transmission. Here, the epidemiology of viruses circulating among backyard poultry in Vientiane Province was assessed to guide ...

Cross-species transmission of PERV appears unlikely [PDF]

Liver Transplantation, 2000
Abstract Pig organs may offer a solution to the shortage of humandonor organs for transplantation, but concerns remain about possible cross-species transmission of porcine endogenousretrovirus (PERV). Samples were collected from 160 patients who had been treated with various living pig tissues up to 12 years earlier.

Efficient transmission and characterization of creutzfeldt-jakob disease strains in bank voles. [PDF]

, 2006
Transmission of prions between species is limited by the "species barrier," which hampers a full characterization of human prion strains in the mouse model.
