A global-scale assessment of zoonotic virus diversity and spillover potential in urban-adapted mammal species.

Abstract excerpt

The repeated emergence of pandemic viruses underscores the linkages between land-use change and wildlife disease, and urban-adapted wildlife are of special interest due to their close proximity to humans. However, viral diversity within urban-adapted species and their zoonotic potential remain largely unexplored. Here we compiled a dataset of documented records spanning from 1574 to 2023 on red foxes, raccoons,...
