Immune system modulation and viral persistence in bats: understanding viral spillover
Bats harbor a myriad of viruses and some of these viruses may have spilled over to other
species including humans. Spillover events are rare and several factors must align to create …

Transmission or within-host dynamics driving pulses of zoonotic viruses in reservoir–host populations
Progress in combatting zoonoses that emerge from wildlife is often constrained by limited
knowledge of the biology of pathogens within reservoir hosts. We focus on the host …

Pathogen spillover driven by rapid changes in bat ecology
During recent decades, pathogens that originated in bats have become an increasing public
health concern. A major challenge is to identify how those pathogens spill over into human …

Ecological conditions predict the intensity of Hendra virus excretion over space and time from bat reservoir hosts
The ecological conditions experienced by wildlife reservoirs affect infection dynamics and
thus the distribution of pathogen excreted into the environment. This spatial and temporal …
