Abstract

The current COVID-19 pandemic, like others before it, originated in a host animal. However, the ecology, origin and development of these hosts and their viruses remain largely unknown. In order to address this shortcoming, this project aims to model animal populations that act as reservoirs for these pathogens in order to complete knowledge of the disease and to anticipate future resurgences, or outbreaks of new viruses.
