The role of evolution in the emergence of infectious diseases.

Nature - 11 Dec 2003

Antia Rustom, Regoes Roland R, Koella Jacob C, Bergstrom Carl T

Abstract excerpt

It is unclear when, where and how novel pathogens such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), monkeypox and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) will cross the barriers that separate their natural reservoirs from human populations and ignite the epidemic spread of novel infectious diseases. New pathogens are believed to emerge from animal reservoirs when ecological changes increase the pathogen's...
