Reservoir population dynamics and pathogen epidemiology drive pathogen genetic diversity, spillover, and emergence

2020-08-22

Abstract excerpt

When several factors align, pathogens that normally infect wildlife can spill over into the human population. If pathogen transmission within the human population is self-sustaining, or rapidly evolves to be self sustaining, novel human pathogens can emerge. Although many factors influence the likelihood of spillover and emergence, the rate of contact between humans and wildlife is critical. Thus, for those pathog...
