Samuel Alizon explores a #PLOSBiology study which uses evolutionary epidemiology models to show that #LifeHistory of reservoir mammal hosts of #zoonotic #viruses might be the key to predicting virulence in humans. Primer: https://plos.io/45MphU1 Paper: https://plos.io/44Dri3y

Although most cases of #leprosy in heavily endemic areas probably result from respiratory droplets and prolonged person-to-person contactopens in a new tab or window, the disease's #zoonotic transmission remains poorly understood. In some cultures, people hunt and eat #armadillos, which suggests another route of exposure. We also don't know if M. #leprae in the Americas might have an environmental reservoir in soil or animal droppings...

Could Next #Pandemic Start at the #CountyFair?
Since 2011, there have been more human #swineflu cases reported in US than anywhere else in world. Most have occurred at farm-animal showcases. The world is emerging from pandemic that killed at least 6.9M. It won’t be the last. Outbreaks of #zoonotic #diseases, which spread between #animals & #humans, have become more frequent in recently and animal #pathogens will continue spilling over into human populations in years ahead

@attilakinali This information I've talked about in this thread is cited from multiple different peer-reviewed research papers on #zoonotic disease #zoonoses and its link to tropical #deforestation. What about you? do you just come onto Mastodon or Twitter and say things authoritatively without providing links to evidence? I'll wait...but I won't hold my breath.
