Natural reservoir : ウィキペディア英語版 | Natural reservoir
A natural reservoir or nidus (the latter from the Latin word for "nest") is the long-term host of a pathogen of an infectious disease.〔 Hosts often do not get the disease carried by the pathogen or it is carried as a subclinical infection and so asymptomatic and non-lethal. Once discovered, natural reservoirs elucidate the complete life cycle of infectious diseases, providing effective prevention and control. ==Examples== Examples of natural reservoirs are: * Field mice, for hantaviruses and Lassa fever * Marmots, black rats, prairie dogs, chipmunks and squirrels for bubonic plague * Armadillos and opossums for Chagas disease, leprosy, and several species of New World ''Leishmania'' * Ticks for babesiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever * Ground squirrels, porcupines, and chipmunks for Colorado tick fever * Snails for schistosomiasis and swimmer's itch * Pigs for cestode worm infections * Raccoons, skunks, foxes and bats for rabies * Shellfish for cholera * Fowl (ducks and geese) for avian influenza * Bats, the reservoir for Nipah and Hendra virus, rabies, Ebola virus disease, and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) * Dogs and wild canids for Ebola virus disease, ''Leishmania infantum'', the cause of infantile visceral leishmaniasis * Cats, for ''Bartonella'' (aka cat scratch disease) * Gerbils for ''Leishmania major'', the causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Old World * Rock hyrax for ''Leishmania aethiopica'' and, probably, certain strains of ''Leishmania tropica'', the causative agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Old World
