Description
Science Magazine - One Issue Animal Contagion. How a virus persists in the wild. Harassment allegations roil top Mexican institute Moving beyond lectures to improve learning Tracing the early-stage dynamics of water photoionization Pages 1-116 Cover: African buffalo in Kruger National Park, South Africa. Buffalo are reservoir hosts for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) viruses, which infect wild and domestic ungulates. Highly contagious infections such as FMD spread rapidly through susceptible populations but fade out as hosts gain immunity—except in reservoir hosts, where they persist endemically. Mechanisms of endemic persistence represent evolutionary outcomes of long-standing host-pathogen associations and may expose points of vulnerability in the transmission cycle. See pages 35 and 104.
