Abstract(#br)Many parasites infect multiple hosts, but estimating the transmission across host species remains a key challenge in disease ecology. We investigated the within and across host species dynamics of canine distemper virus ( CDV ) in grizzly bears ( Ursus arctos ) and wolves ( Canis lupus ...
