Targeting Surveillance for Zoonotic Virus Discovery - Volume 19, Number 5—May 2013 - Emerging Infectious Diseases journal - CDC

Abstract

We analyzed a database of mammal-virus associations to ask whether surveillance targeting diseased animals is the best strategy to identify potentially zoonotic pathogens. Although a mixed healthy and diseased animal surveillance strategy is generally best, surveillance of apparently healthy animals would likely maximize zoonotic virus discovery potential for bats and rodents.
