Bat-borne virus diversity, spillover and emergence
Most viral pathogens in humans have animal origins and arose through cross-species
transmission. Over the past 50 years, several viruses, including Ebola virus, Marburg virus …

The science of the host–virus network
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 …

Climate change increases cross-species viral transmission risk
At least 10,000 virus species have the ability to infect humans but, at present, the vast
majority are circulating silently in wild mammals 1, 2. However, changes in climate and land …

What would it take to describe the global diversity of parasites?
How many parasites are there on Earth? Here, we use helminth parasites to highlight how
little is known about parasite diversity, and how insufficient our current approach will be to …
