Between virus correlations in the outcome of infection across host species: Evidence of virus by host species interactions

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Virus host shifts are a major source of outbreaks and emerging infectious diseases, and predicting the outcome of novel host and virus interactions remains a key challenge for virus research. The evolutionary relationships between host species can explain variation in transmission rates, virulence, and virus community composition between hosts, but it is unclear if correlations exist between related...
