Rabies is a lethal zoonotic disease that is caused by lyssaviruses, most often rabies virus.
Despite control efforts, sporadic outbreaks in wildlife populations are largely unpredictable …

Rabies is a zoonotic, fatal and progressive neurological infection caused by rabies virus of
the genus Lyssavirus and family Rhabdoviridae. It affects all warm-blooded animals and the …

The natural evolution of rabies virus (RABV) provides a potent example of multiple host
shifts and an important opportunity to determine the mechanisms that underpin viral …

Lassa fever is a severe viral hemorrhagic fever caused by a zoonotic virus that repeatedly
spills over to humans from its rodent reservoirs. It is currently not known how climate and …

Epidemiologists aim to inform the design of public health interventions with evidence on the
evolution, emergence and spread of infectious diseases. Sequencing of pathogen genomes …

Rabies is an important zoonotic disease distributed worldwide. A key question in rabies
epidemiology is the identification of factors that impact virus dispersion. Here we apply new …

Recent years have seen the extensive use of phylogeographic approaches to unveil the
dispersal history of virus epidemics. Spatially explicit reconstructions of viral spread …

Many of the pathogens perceived to pose the greatest risk to humans are viral zoonoses,
responsible for a range of emerging and endemic infectious diseases. Phylogeography is a …

Introduction In the continental US, four terrestrial mammalian species are reservoirs for
seven antigenic rabies virus variants. Cross species transmission (CST) occurs when a …

Rabies is a neglected zoonotic disease which is caused by negative strand RNA-viruses
belonging to the genus Lyssavirus. Within this genus, rabies viruses circulate in a diverse …
