A global perspective on hantavirus ecology, epidemiology, and disease
CB Jonsson, LTM Figueiredo… - Clinical microbiology …, 2010 - Am Soc Microbiol
Hantaviruses are enzootic viruses that maintain persistent infections in their rodent hosts
without apparent disease symptoms. The spillover of these viruses to humans can lead to …

Spatial epidemiology: an emerging (or re-emerging) discipline
Spatial epidemiology is the study of spatial variation in disease risk or incidence. Several
ecological processes can result in strong spatial patterns of such risk or incidence: for …

The human/animal interface: emergence and resurgence of zoonotic infectious diseases
M Greger - Critical reviews in microbiology, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
Emerging infectious diseases, most of which are considered zoonotic in origin, continue to
exact a significant toll on society. The origins of major human infectious diseases are …

Phylogeny of muroid rodents: relationships within and among major lineages as determined by IRBP gene sequences
The rodent family Muridae is the single most diverse family of mammals with over 1300
recognized species. We used DNA sequences from the first exon (∼ 1200bp) of the IRBP …
