Spillover rate is not a predictor of host jump risk, but spillover novelty is
2024-10-17
Abstract excerpt
Host jumps—defined as the process by which a pathogen establishes sustained transmission in novel hosts—are threats to human and animal welfare, but prediction of successful host jumps remains elusive. A spillover event must precede a host jump, and so spillover rate is thought to be related to risk. However, non-endemic pathogens that spill over frequently have demonstrated a poor ability to host jump from any gi...
