Title: Network analysis of host–virus communities in bats and rodents reveals determinants of cross-species transmission Document date: 2015_8_24

Snippet: Another potential source of bias may be reports of spillover or incidental hosts that are not important reservoirs but are treated with equal weight in these analyses. We took care to distinguish the hantaviruses and arenaviruses, for which there is relatively good knowledge of host-virus relationships. However, we found that this did not impact the qualitative conclusionswhen using ICTV classifications the rodent network still had lower mean deg.....
Document: Another potential source of bias may be reports of spillover or incidental hosts that are not important reservoirs but are treated with equal weight in these analyses. We took care to distinguish the hantaviruses and arenaviruses, for which there is relatively good knowledge of host-virus relationships. However, we found that this did not impact the qualitative conclusionswhen using ICTV classifications the rodent network still had lower mean degree (13.8), mean weighted degree (19.01), connectance (3.51%) and transitivity (0.57) than the bat network. However, for most of the reported viruses in bats and rodents, there is little knowledge of the ecology and epidemiology in these hosts. This again highlights the importance of further study of both bats and rodents as reservoirs of viruses.
