Bats host major mammalian paramyxoviruses

• Jan Felix Drexler, Victor Max Corman, +31 authors Christian Drosten
• Nature communications
• 2012

The large virus family Paramyxoviridae includes some of the most significant human and livestock viruses, such as measles-, distemper-, mumps-, parainfluenza-, Newcastle disease-, respiratory… (More)

Genomic characterization of severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus in European bats and classification of coronaviruses based on partial RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene sequences.

• Jan Felix Drexler, Florian Gloza-Rausch, +15 authors Christian Drosten
• Journal of virology
• 2010

Bats may host emerging viruses, including coronaviruses (CoV). We conducted an evaluation of CoV in rhinolophid and vespertilionid bat species common in Europe. Rhinolophids carried severe acute… (More)

Evidence for an Ancestral Association of Human Coronavirus 229E with Bats.

• Victor Max Corman, Heather J Baldwin, +16 authors Jan Felix Drexler
• Journal of virology
• 2015

UNLABELLED We previously showed that close relatives of human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) exist in African bats. The small sample and limited genomic characterizations have prevented further… (More)

Bats carry pathogenic hepadnaviruses antigenically related to hepatitis B virus and capable of infecting human hepatocytes.

• Jan Felix Drexler, Andreas Geipel, +28 authors Christian Drosten
• Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
• 2013

The hepatitis B virus (HBV), family Hepadnaviridae, is one of most relevant human pathogens. HBV origins are enigmatic, and no zoonotic reservoirs are known. Here, we screened 3,080 specimens from 54… (More)

Evolutionary origins of hepatitis A virus in small mammals.

• Jan Felix Drexler, Victor Max Corman, +13 authors Christian Drosten
• Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
• 2015

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is an ancient and ubiquitous human pathogen recovered previously only from primates. The sole species of the genus Hepatovirus, existing in both enveloped and nonenveloped… (More)

The occurrence and ape-to-ape transmission of the entodiniomorphid ciliate Troglodytella abrassarti in captive gorillas.

• David Modrý, Klára Judita Petrželková, +6 authors Jan Šlapeta
• The Journal of eukaryotic microbiology
• 2009

Entodiniomorphid ciliates are often present in the colons of wild apes. In captive apes the infection tends to gradually disappear, with the exception of Troglodytella abrassarti. We used fecal… (More)

Molecular diversity of entodiniomorphid ciliate Troglodytella abrassarti and its coevolution with chimpanzees.

• Peter Vallo, Klára Judita Petrželková, +19 authors David Modrý
• American journal of physical anthropology
• 2012

The entodiniomorphid ciliate Troglodytella abrassarti is a colonic mutualist of great apes. Its host specificity makes it a suitable model for studies of primate evolution. We explored molecular… (More)

Diversity of Mammomonogamus (Nematoda: Syngamidae) in large African herbivores

• Barbora Červená, Kristýna Hrazdilová, +12 authors David Modrý
• Parasitology Research
• 2018

Four species of Mammomonogamus are known from large African herbivores. A recent study demonstrated that a single Mammomonogamus species was shared by both western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla… (More)

Host specificity and basic ecology of Mammomonogamus (Nematoda, Syngamidae) from lowland gorillas and forest elephants in Central African Republic.

• Barbora Červená, Peter Vallo, +6 authors David Modrý
• Parasitology
• 2017

Syngamid strongylids of the genus Mammomonogamus undoubtedly belong among the least known nematodes with apparent zoonotic potential and the real diversity of the genus remains hard to evaluate… (More)

Metabarcoding analysis of strongylid nematode diversity in two sympatric primate species

• Barbora Pafčo, Dagmar Čížková, +6 authors David Modrý
• Scientific Reports
• 2018

Strongylid nematodes in large terrestrial herbivores such as great apes, equids, elephants, and humans tend to occur in complex communities. However, identification of all species within strongylid… (More)
