Reservoir interactions and disease emergence.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Nov 2007

Reluga T, Meza R, Walton D B, Galvani A P

Abstract excerpt

Animal populations act as reservoirs for emerging diseases. In order for transmission to be self-sustaining, a pathogen must have a basic reproduction number R0>1. Following a founding transmission event from an animal reservoir to humans, a pathogen has not yet adapted to its new environment and is likely to have an R0<1. However, subsequent evolution may rescue the pathogen from extinction in its new host....
