Ecological and taxonomic variation among human RNA viruses	2013-03-19		.txt	text/plain	1395	88	59	The realisation that many newly discovered and/or emerging pathogens have zoonotic origins has prompted much interest in the nature of the non-human reservoirs and biological characteristics that enable pathogens to jump between host species. 1 Here, we focus on an important group of pathogens -RNA viruses -and consider how taxonomic diversity and various aspects of ecological diversity -host range, route of infection and transmissibility -are related to one another. 2 We catalogue ICTV-recognised RNA virus species for which we can find convincing evidence of natural human infection in the peer-reviewed scientific literature (see Ref. 3 for more methodological details). Our procedure reveals a total of 158 human infective RNA virus species from 47 genera and 17 families (with one genus unassigned to a family). The overlap is also illustrated in that 47 out of 60 recognised mammal virus genera contain human infective species, as do 17 out of 19 families. There are 68 species of vector-borne RNA virus that can infect humans.	./cache/cord-335067-tg66h99q.txt	./txt/cord-335067-tg66h99q.txt
