Cross-Species Pathogen Transmission and Disease Emergence in Primates	2010-03-16		.txt	text/plain	7176	325	47	This analysis provides the first quantitative attempt to assess the risk of pathogens host-shifting to humans from wildlife populations, a critical step toward predicting disease emergence. Following Davies and Pedersen (2008) , we derived the relationship between evolutionary divergence (representing time to most recent common ancestor from the dated phylogenetic tree of Bininda-Emonds et al., 2007) , and pathogen community similarity (as described above) between each primate pair using generalized linear modeling (GLM) with binomial errors and a logit link function in the statistical package R (R: a programming environment for data analysis and graphics, v. Next, to provide an estimate of the cross-species pathogen transmission risk from wild primates to humans, we constructed a second hotspot map, weighting each primate distribution in proportion to its evolutionary distance from humans, using the nonlinear transformation determined from the GLM model coefficients described above. Population centers in close proximity to regions with high phylogenetic risk of host shifts and human population growth are likely to be foci of disease emergence.	./cache/cord-004914-cnz61qjy.txt	./txt/cord-004914-cnz61qjy.txt
