Bats: Important Reservoir Hosts of Emerging Viruses
TL;DR: It is clear that the authors do not know enough about bat biology; they are doing too little in terms of bat conservation; and there remain a multitude of questions regarding the role of bats in disease emergence.

Zoonosis emergence linked to agricultural intensification and environmental change
Bryony A. Jones,Delia Grace,Richard Kock,Silvia Alonso,Jonathan Rushton,Mohammed Yahya Said,Declan J. McKeever,Florence Mutua,J. Young,John J. McDermott,Dirk U. Pfeiffer +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the rate of future zoonotic disease emergence or reemergence will be closely linked to the evolution of the agriculture–environment nexus, and available research inadequately addresses the complexity and interrelatedness of environmental, biological, economic, and social dimensions of zoonosis.

TreeView : an application to display phylogenetic trees on personal computers
TL;DR: TreeView is a simple, easy to use phylogenetic tree viewing utility that runs under both MacOS (on Apple Macintosh computers) and under Microsoft Windows on Intel based computers, the two most common personal computers used by biologists.

TL;DR: Electron microscopic, serologic, and genetic studies indicate that the Nipah virus belongs to the family Paramyxoviridae and is most closely related to the recently discovered Hendra virus, and it is suggested that these two viruses are representative of a new genus within the familyparamyxviridae.

TL;DR: It is proposed that this Hendra-like virus was the cause of the outbreak of encephalitis among pig-farmers in Malaysia and Clinically and epidemiologically the infection is distinct from infection by the Hendra virus.
