Host-shift as the cause of emerging infectious diseases: Experimental approaches using Drosophila-virus interactions [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 Host shifts, when a cross-species transmission of a pathogen can lead to successful infections, are the main cause of emerging infectious diseases, such as COVID-19.

Diversity and Epidemiology of Mokola Virus
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Mokola virus (MOKV) appears to be exclusive to Africa. Although the first isolates were from Nigeria and other Congo basin countries, all reports over the past 20 years have been from southern Africa. Previous phylogenetic studies analyzed few isolates or used partial gene sequence for analysis since limited sequence information is available for MOKV ...

Relatives of rubella virus in diverse mammals
Nature, 2020 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Since 1814, when rubella was first described, the origins of the disease and its causative agent, rubella virus (Matonaviridae: Rubivirus), have remained unclear1. Here we describe ruhugu virus and rustrela virus in Africa and Europe, respectively, which are, to our knowledge, the first known relatives

Origins of Human Virus Diversity [PDF]
Cell, 2002 The diverse consequences of different viral infections on the human population reflect both the history of their origins and the nature of their ongoing evolution. Advances in the ease of finding and characterizing viral genome sequences are having a major impact on our understanding of the diversity of human viruses and of their relatives infecting ...

Identifying Hendra Virus Diversity in Pteropid Bats [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Hendra virus (HeV) causes a zoonotic disease with high mortality that is transmitted to humans from bats of the genus Pteropus (flying foxes) via an intermediary equine host. Factors promoting spillover from bats to horses are uncertain at this time, but plausibly encompass host and/or agent and/or environmental factors. There is a lack of HeV sequence
