Reverse Zoonosis and Horizontal Spread

E4 Reddit (hantavirus search) · 2026-05-14 · United States

I just kinda noticed when I searched for this topic, nothing actually showed up and have been thinking that this should be the much bigger concern rather than p2p spread. Curiously, I've been shouted down in other subs/posts for bringing it up, where people conflate the lack of literature as meaning that it is impossible. What do you all think? Any papers on these subjects that you want to share? It seems rational that a virus that can spread amongst rodents and jump to humans, can also jump back to rodents that aren't the usual reservoir species and create a new niche. Something as simple as someone's half-eaten hotdog could become problematic, or sewage, for example. submitted by /u/naliron to r/hantavirus [link] [comments]
