Proc Biol Sci . 2023 Apr; 290(1996):20222470. PMID: 37040809
Identifying factors that drive infection dynamics in reservoir host populations is essential in understanding human risk from wildlife-originated zoonoses. We studied zoonotic Puumala orthohantavirus (PUUV) in the host, the bank...

Reijniers J, Tersago K, Borremans B, Hartemink N, Voutilainen L, Henttonen H, et al.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol . 2020 Nov; 10:536660. PMID: 33134187
For wildlife diseases, one often relies on host density to predict host infection prevalence and the subsequent force of infection to humans in the case of zoonoses. Indeed, if transmission...

Fevola C, Rossi C, Rosso F, Girardi M, Rosa R, Manica M, et al.
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis . 2020 Jun; 20(9):692-702. PMID: 32487013
Ljungan virus (LV), which belongs to the genus in the family, was first isolated from bank voles () in Sweden in 1998 and proposed as a zoonotic agent. To improve...
