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

Several examples of high-impact cross-species transmission of newly emerging or re-
emerging bat-borne viruses, such as Sudan virus, Nipah virus, and severe acute respiratory …

A novel Hendra virus variant, genotype 2, was recently discovered in a horse that died after
acute illness and in Pteropus flying fox tissues in Australia. We detected the variant in flying …

The spatial organization of populations determines their pathogen dynamics. This is
particularly important for communally roosting species, whose aggregations are often driven …

Flying‐foxes worldwide have suffered population declines and some extinctions, and due to
negative attitudes to bats, achieving population recovery is challenging. The Spectacled …

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

The global phenomena of wildlife migration to urban areas unsettle notions of the city being
exclusively for humans. Using a dialogue between urban political ecology and multispecies …

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 black flying fox (Pteropus alecto) is a natural reservoir for Hendra virus, a paramyxovirus
that causes fatal infections in humans and horses in Australia. Increased excretion of …

The Little Red Flying Fox (Pteropus scapulatus) is native to large coastal areas of northern
and eastern Australia. A primary food source for this species is the nectar from Eucalyptus …
