Pathogenic Leptospira is the causative agent of leptospirosis, an emerging zoonotic disease
affecting animals and humans worldwide. The risk of host infection following interaction with …

Co-infection is an underappreciated phenomenon in contemporary disease ecology despite
its ubiquity and importance in nature. Viruses, and other co-infecting agents, can interact in …

Viruses are omnipresent, yet the knowledge on drivers of viral prevalence in wild host
populations is often limited. Biotic factors, such as sympatric managed host species, as well …

In develo** countries, the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection is still significant,
particularly due to geographical and socioeconomic variables. The objective of this study …

Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) and Babesia microti (Bm) are vector-borne zoonotic pathogens
commonly found co-circulating in Ixodes scapularis and Peromyscus leucopus populations …

Abstract Introduction Cats (Felis catus) are the only felines that live in close contact with
humans. Since cats can act as vectors, carriers, reservoirs and definitive hosts of many …

Co-infections have a key role in virus transmission in wild reservoir hosts. We investigated
the simultaneous presence of astroviruses, coronaviruses, and paramyxoviruses in bats …

The effects of systemic pathogens on gut microbiota of wild animals are poorly understood.
Furthermore, coinfections are the norm in nature, yet most studies of pathogen–microbiota …

Bats are the only active flying placental mammals and are traditionally classified into mega‐
and microbats, which are, respectively, herbivorous and insectivorous in feeding habit …

Background A large number of studies have assessed risk factors for infection with soil-
transmitted helminths (STH), but few have investigated the interactions between the different …
