Q

Stages of Cross Species Disease Emergence

A
  1. Pathogen exclusive to single species
  2. Animal reservoir transmits to humans/ other animals but no transmission among them - dead end hosts
  3. Animal reservoir transmits to humans/other animals with a few cycles of transmission among them
  4. Animal reservoir transmits to humans/other animals with sustained transmission among them
  5. Pathogen exclusive to new reservoir species
