Better methods to predict and prevent the emergence of zoonotic viruses could support
future efforts to reduce the risk of epidemics. We propose a network science framework for …

Land use change—for example, the conversion of natural habitats to agricultural or urban
ecosystems—is widely recognized to influence the risk and emergence of zoonotic disease …

Outbreaks of zoonotic diseases are accelerating at an unprecedented rate in the current era
of globalization, with substantial impacts on the global economy, public health, and …

Ecology and evolutionary biology, like other scientific fields, are experiencing an
exponential growth of academic manuscripts. As domain knowledge accumulates, scientists …

Human health is dependent upon environmental exposures, yet the diversity and variation in
exposures are poorly understood. We developed a sensitive method to monitor personal …

The eco-epidemiology of zoonoses is often oversimplified to host-pathogen interactions
while findings derived from global datasets are rarely directly transferable to smaller-scale …

Most new infectious diseases emerge when pathogens transfer from animals to humans. 1,
2 The suspected origin of the COVID pandemic in a wildlife wet market has resurfaced …

Understanding interspecific viral transmission is key to understanding viral ecology and
evolution, disease spillover into humans, and the consequences of global change. Prior …

Parasites with low host specificity (eg infecting a large diversity of host species) are of
special interest in disease ecology, as they are likely more capable of circumventing …

Macroplastics are ubiquitous in aquaculture ecosystems. However, to date the potential role
of plastics as a support for bacterial biofilm that can include potential human pathogenic …
