Host physiological phenotype explains pathogen reservoir potential.

Ecology letters - 1 Oct 2010

Cronin James Patrick, Welsh Miranda E, Dekkers Martin G, Abercrombie Samuel T, Mitchell Charles E

Abstract excerpt

Control of emerging infectious diseases often hinges on identifying a pathogen reservoir, the source of disease transmission. The potential to function as a pathogen reservoir can be influenced by host lifespan, geographic provenance and phylogeny. Yet, no study has identified factors that causally determine the reservoir potential of diverse host species. We propose the host physiological phenotype hypothesis,...
