Title: Network analysis of host–virus communities in bats and rodents reveals determinants of cross-species transmission Document date: 2015_8_24
ID: yqc8r3ll_45
Snippet: Overall properties of the bat and rodent networks provide a global view of viral sharing within each order, to our current knowledge. The number of viruses per host species, the number of hosts per virus, the mean degree and connectance were higher in the bat network than the rodent network. This suggests that viruses may pass more easily between bat species than between rodent species. Our analyses indicate that characteristics unique to bats, s.....
Document: Overall properties of the bat and rodent networks provide a global view of viral sharing within each order, to our current knowledge. The number of viruses per host species, the number of hosts per virus, the mean degree and connectance were higher in the bat network than the rodent network. This suggests that viruses may pass more easily between bat species than between rodent species. Our analyses indicate that characteristics unique to bats, such as gregariousness and migration, may facilitate this increased transmission.
