  1. We discuss the practical value of different approaches that may be used to identify reservoirs in the field. Keywords: reservoir, epidemiology, pathogen, disease control, transmission. Infectious agents that can infect more than one host species are ubiquitous.

  2. Jan 15, 2020 · We use a previously published compartmental model of the dynamics of pathogens in ecosystems to define and explore the concepts of maintenance host, maintenance community and reservoir of infection in a full ecological context of interacting host and non-host species.

  3. Apr 11, 2014 · We review the problem of identifying reservoirs of infection for multihost pathogens and provide an overview of current approaches and future directions. We provide a conceptual framework for classifying patterns of incidence and prevalence.

  5. A conceptual framework for understanding a reservoir of infection has been established through various studies that have emphasized different aspects of zoonotic diseases.1–4 However, empirical characterization of reservoirs often remains controversial and challenging.

  8. Thus, infection reservoirs can be constituted in a variety of ways. Reservoirs can be wildlife species [e.g., possums (Eichosurus vulpecula) as a reservoir of bovine TB in cattle in New Zealand; or wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) as a reservoir of malignant catarrh fever for cattle in Tanzania]; domesticated species (e.g., dogs
