The ecological conditions experienced by wildlife reservoirs affect infection dynamics and
thus the distribution of pathogen excreted into the environment. This spatial and temporal …

Over the past two decades, research on bat-associated microbes such as viruses, bacteria
and fungi has dramatically increased. Here, we synthesize themes from a conference …

Animal sociality emerges from individual decisions on how to balance the costs and benefits
of being sociable. Novel pathogens introduced into wildlife populations should increase the …

Changes in land use can modify habitat and roosting behaviour of bats, and therefore the
transmission dynamics of viruses. Within bat roosts the density and contact rate among …

The ecological conditions experienced by wildlife reservoir hosts affect the amount of
pathogen they excrete into the environment. This then shapes pathogen pressure, the …

Ecological information on wildlife reservoirs is fundamental for research targeting prevention
of zoonotic infectious disease, yet basic information is lacking for many species in global …

Objective To identify the size and distribution of the horse population in the Northern Rivers
Region of NSW, including changes from 2007 to 2021, to better understand populations at …

Abstract Models of host–pathogen interactions help to explain infection dynamics in wildlife
populations and to predict and mitigate the risk of zoonotic spillover. Insights from models …

The ability of some wildlife to live in anthropogenic structures in response to rapid land-use
change is widely observed across mammals. However, the influence of this adaptation in …

Understanding processes driving pathogen transmission in bats is critical to prevent
spillovers and emergence events. However, it requires fine-scale ecological investigations …
