Ecology and geography of Cache Valley virus assessed using ecological niche modeling. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors
Abstract Background Cache Valley virus (CVV) is an understudied Orthobunyavirus with a high spillover transmission potential due to its wide geographical distribution and large number of associated hosts and vectors. Although CVV is known to be widely distributed throughout North America, no studies have explored its ...
