Bats harbor a myriad of viruses and some of these viruses may have spilled over to other
species including humans. Spillover events are rare and several factors must align to create …

Researchers worldwide are repeatedly warning us against future zoonotic diseases
resulting from humankind's insurgence into natural ecosystems. The same zoonotic …

Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging bat-borne zoonotic virus that causes near-annual
outbreaks of fatal encephalitis in South Asia—one of the most populous regions on Earth. In …

Bats host virulent zoonotic viruses without experiencing disease. A mechanistic
understanding of the impact of bats' virus hosting capacities, including uniquely constitutive …

The natural reservoir of Ebola virus (EBOV), agent of a zoonosis burdening several African
countries, remains unidentified, albeit evidence points towards bats. In contrast, the ecology …

The risk of zoonotic spillover from reservoir hosts, such as wildlife or domestic livestock, to
people is shaped by the spatial and temporal distribution of infection in reservoir …

Many of the world's most pressing issues, such as the emergence of zoonotic diseases, can
only be addressed through interdisciplinary research. However, the findings of …

Recent studies suggest that coronaviruses circulate widely in Southeast Asian bat species
and that the progenitors of the SARS-Cov-2 virus could have originated in rhinolophid bats …

Anticipating cross-species transmission of zoonotic diseases requires an understanding of
pathogen infection dynamics within natural reservoir hosts. Although bats might be a source …

Nipah henipavirus (NiV) and Hendra henipavirus (HeV) are zoonotic emerging
paramyxoviruses causing severe disease outbreaks in humans and livestock, mostly in …
