Risk factors for the evolutionary emergence of pathogens.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface - 6 Oct 2010

Alexander H K, Day T

Abstract excerpt

Recent outbreaks of novel infectious diseases (e.g. SARS, influenza H1N1) have highlighted the threat of cross-species pathogen transmission. When first introduced to a population, a pathogen is often poorly adapted to its new host and must evolve in order to escape extinction. Theoretical arguments and empirical studies have suggested various factors to explain why some pathogens emerge and others do not,...
