Flying-Fox Roost Disturbance and Hendra Virus Spillover Risk
Bats of the genus Pteropus (flying-foxes) are the natural host of Hendra virus (HeV) which periodically causes fatal disease in horses and humans in Australia. The increased urban presence of flying-foxes often provokes negative community sentiments because of reduced social amenity and concerns of HeV exposure risk, and has resulted in calls for the dispersal of urban flying-fox roosts. Howeve...
متن کاملClimate Change Could Change Rates of Evolution
When delegates for the United Nations climate change summit met in Mexico in December 2010, they heard the latest reports of rising temperatures, rising tides, shrinking sea ice, and crashing populations of endangered species. With thousands of the planet’s animals and plants facing extinction, predicting how species may— or may not—adapt to rapid changes in their environment is a top priority ...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Climatic and Environmental Context of Hendra Virus Spillover Events 1994–2010
Hendra virus is a recently emerged bat-borne zoonotic agent with high lethality in horses and humans in Australia. This is a rare disease and the determinants of bat to horse transmission, including the factors that bring these hosts together at critical times, are poorly understood. In this cross-disciplinary study climatic and vegetation primary productivity variables are compared for the dis...
متن کاملGeographic Spillover of Unionism
If a union successfully organizes one plant, does it make it easier to organize other nearby plants? If the answer is yes, there is a spillover effect from one plant to the next. If spillovers are important, then when a union gets it foot in the door and organizes some initial plants, unionism may spread like a contagion and turn a city into what trade unionists call a “union town.” The purpose...
متن کاملClimatic suitability influences species specific abundance patterns of Australian flying foxes and risk of Hendra virus spillover
Hendra virus is a paramyxovirus of Australian flying fox bats. It was first detected in August 1994, after the death of 20 horses and one human. Since then it has occurred regularly within a portion of the geographical distribution of all Australian flying fox (fruit bat) species. There is, however, little understanding about which species are most likely responsible for spillover, or why spill...
