Jumping species—a mechanism for coronavirus persistence and survival
author
Abstract:
Zoonotic transmission of novel viruses represents a significant threat to global public health and is fueled by globalization, the loss of natural habitats, and exposure to new hosts. For oronaviruses (CoVs), broad diversity exists within bat populations and uniquely positions them to seed future emergence events. In this review, we explore the host and viral dynamics that shape these CoV populations for survival, amplification, and possible emergence in novel hosts.

Streamline jumping: a mixing mechanism.
We study a singular limit of tumbled granular flows in quasi-two-dimensional rotating drums, demonstrating that the limiting dynamical system, as the shear layer vanishes, belongs to a class of discrete discontinuous mappings called piecewise isometries. In doing so, we identify a mechanism of mixing, in the absence of the usual streamline crossing mediated by the flowing layer. By considering ...
full textPersistence and transmission of natural type I feline coronavirus infection.
To examine the mode of natural transmission and persistence of feline coronavirus (FCoV), FCoV strains shed by domestic cats were investigated over periods of up to 7 years. An RT-PCR that amplified part of the 3' end of the viral spike (S) gene was devised to distinguish FCoV types I and II. All but 1 of 28 strains of FCoV from 43 cats were type I. Nucleotide identities of the amplified 320 bp...
full textThe Development of the Locust Jumping Mechanism I. Allometric Growth and Its Effect on Jumping Performance
1. The jump range of locusts of all instars varies throughout an instar, reaching a peak at apolysis in hoppers, and about 3 weeks after the final moult in adults. 2. Mature adult locusts have an escape jump range three times that of young hoppers. 3. During a period of repeated jumping, mature adults have an average jump range three times that of the hoppers. 4. Allometric growth of the metath...
full textA New Mechanism for Distributed Managers Persistence
A new mechanism for distributed managers persistence Abstract SNMP is currently a worldwide used network management framework. However, it only describes the structure of management information and how to access it, i.e., low-level operations, presenting no considerations about information interpretation or other high-level tasks. Recent work in this area has managed to define several modules s...
full textPersistence of Antibodies against Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus
To determine how long antibodies against Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus persist, we measured long-term antibody responses among persons serologically positive or indeterminate after a 2012 outbreak in Jordan. Antibodies, including neutralizing antibodies, were detectable in 6 (86%) of 7 persons for at least 34 months after the outbreak.
full textVolatility, persistence, and survival in financial markets.
We study the temporal fluctuations in time-dependent stock prices (both individual and composite) as a stochastic phenomenon using general techniques and methods of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. In particular, we analyze stock price fluctuations as a non-Markovian stochastic process using the first-passage statistical concepts of persistence and survival. We report the results of empiri...
