Effects of host diversity on infectious disease
The dynamics of infectious diseases can be affected by genetic diversity within host
populations, species diversity within host communities, and diversity among communities. In …

Pangloss revisited: a critique of the dilution effect and the biodiversity-buffers-disease paradigm
SE Randolph, ADM Dobson - Parasitology, 2012 - cambridge.org
The twin concepts of zooprophylaxis and the dilution effect originated with vector-borne
diseases (malaria), were driven forward by studies on Lyme borreliosis and have now …

A meta‐analysis suggesting that the relationship between biodiversity and risk of zoonotic pathogen transmission is idiosyncratic
Zoonotic pathogens are significant burdens on global public health. Because they are
transmitted to humans from non‐human animals, the transmission dynamics of zoonoses …

Risk factors associated with sustained circulation of six zoonotic arboviruses: a systematic review for selection of surveillance sites in non-endemic areas
Arboviruses represent a significant burden to public health and local economies due to their
ability to cause unpredictable and widespread epidemics. To maximize early detection of …

Introduction, spread, and establishment of West Nile virus in the Americas
Abstract The introduction of West Nile virus (WNV) to North America in 1999 and its
subsequent rapid spread across the Americas demonstrated the potential impact of arboviral …

Human–mosquito contact: a missing link in our understanding of mosquito-borne disease transmission dynamics
Despite the critical role that contact between hosts and vectors, through vector bites, plays in
driving vector-borne disease (VBD) transmission, transmission risk is primarily studied …
