The potential for nodavirus zoonosis has been known for many decades. However, diseases associated with nodavirus infection in mammals has only been documented recently. Natural infection with nodaviruses have been observed in human handlers of aquatic animal tissues (covert mortality nodavirus), and in pigs (porcine nodavirus). Here, we infer the potential networks of transmission of these nodaviruses and explore their genetic diversity by mining publicly available datasets.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
