Using modelling to disentangle the relative contributions of zoonotic and anthroponotic transmission: the case of lassa fever.

Zoonotic infections, which transmit from animals to humans, form the majority of new human pathogens. Following zoonotic transmission, the pathogen may already have, or may acquire, the ability to transmit from human to human.
