Data that catalogue viral diversity on Earth have been fragmented across sources,
disciplines, formats, and various degrees of open sharing, posing challenges for research …

Zoonoses originating from wildlife represent a significant threat to global health, security and
economic growth, and combatting their emergence is a public health priority. However, our …

Anthropogenic environmental change is often implicated in the emergence of new zoonoses
from wildlife; however, there is little mechanistic understanding of these causal links. Here …

Human activities are causing Earth's sixth major extinction event—an accelerating decline of
the world's stocks of biological diversity at rates 100 to 1,000 times pre-human levels …

Despite the global investment in One Health disease surveillance, it remains difficult and
costly to identify and monitor the wildlife reservoirs of novel zoonotic viruses. Statistical …

INTRODUCTION Infectious disease outbreaks among wildlife have surged in recent
decades alongside global climate change. However, the circumstances under which climate …

Recent studies have identified ancient virus genomes preserved as fossils within diverse
animal genomes. These fossils have led to the revelation that a broad range of mammalian …

The contemporary surge in metagenomic sequencing has transformed knowledge of viral
diversity in wildlife. However, evaluating which newly discovered viruses pose sufficient risk …

Bats provide key ecosystem services such as crop pest regulation, pollination, seed
dispersal, and soil fertilization. Bats are also major hosts for biological agents responsible …

Identifying the animal reservoirs from which zoonotic viruses will likely emerge is central to
understanding the determinants of disease emergence. Accordingly, there has been an …
