Increasing globalization, agricultural intensification, urbanization, and climatic changes have
resulted in a significant recent increase in emerging infectious zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic …

Quantitatively mapping the spatial distributions of infectious diseases is key to both
investigating their epidemiology and identifying populations at risk of infection. Important …

Species composition within ecological assemblages can drive disease dynamics including

infections from an endless spectrum of biologically diverse fungal pathogens, medical …

In the primordial relationship between pathogens and hosts, evolution ensures that there will
always be winners and losers and, equally importantly, that such outcomes will continually …

Many pathogens infect a wide range of host species. However, variation in the outcome of
infection often exists amongst hosts and is shaped by intrinsic host traits. For example …

Many infectious/communicable diseases (IDs) are endemic in Nepal. Until a decade and
