Title: A Strategy To Estimate Unknown Viral Diversity in Mammals Document date: 2013_9_3
ID: 6lobyyj4_7
Snippet: In this study, we combined virological and ecological techniques to describe the virodiversity of a known zoonotic reservoir, P. giganteus, including the first-ever estimate of viral richness and the sampling effort required to detect any proportion of it. The article also includes a phylogenetic description of 55 viruses identified in this species and an ecological description of the positive and negative occurrences between them. This unprecede.....
Document: In this study, we combined virological and ecological techniques to describe the virodiversity of a known zoonotic reservoir, P. giganteus, including the first-ever estimate of viral richness and the sampling effort required to detect any proportion of it. The article also includes a phylogenetic description of 55 viruses identified in this species and an ecological description of the positive and negative occurrences between them. This unprecedented description of the potential zoonotic pool not only establishes a framework for comparison of virodiversity among host populations in different geographic regions and ecological settings but also provides important a priori knowledge should a novel pathogen emerge or have emerged. For example, sequence data from this study are already being used to develop serological assays to test people with a range of symptoms and known high risk of exposure to bats. This will allow us to identify cases of bat-to-human viral spillover and, potentially, their health consequences.
