Right place, wrong species: a 20-year review of rabies virus cross species transmission among terrestrial mammals in the United States.
IntroductionIn the continental US, four terrestrial mammalian species are reservoirs for seven antigenic rabies virus variants.Cross species transmission (CST) occurs when a rabies virus variant causes disease in non-reservoir species.MethodsThis study analyzed national STEVIA SWEETENER surveillance data for rabies in terrestrial mammals.The CST ra
