Article Synopsis
- Flaviviruses are causing significant global epidemics and are appearing in new regions, but the factors behind their emergence and spread are not fully understood.
- Researchers have identified potential wildlife reservoirs of flaviviruses and analyzed ecological traits to assess the risk of these viruses transmitting among animal populations and identify outbreak-prone regions.
- By combining data on host variability with ecological and climatic models, the study predicts new potential host species and enhances global surveillance efforts for flavivirus outbreaks in both animals and humans.
