Contact heterogeneity, rather than transmission efficiency, limits the emergence and spread of canine influenza virus.
Host-range shifts in influenza virus are a major risk factor for pandemics. A key question in the study of emerging zoonoses is how the evolution of transmission efficiency interacts with heterogeneity in contact patterns in the new host species, as this interplay influences disease dynamics and pro...
