For decades, people have reduced the transmission of pathogens by adding low‐quality
hosts to managed environments like agricultural fields. More recently, there has been …

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 …

Understanding how biodiversity affects pathogen transmission remains an unresolved
question due to the challenges in testing potential mechanisms in natural systems and how …

The recently emerged novel coronavirus, SARS‐CoV‐2, is phylogenetically related to bat
coronaviruses (CoVs), specifically SARS‐related CoVs from the Eurasian bat family …

Despite the global investment in One Health disease surveillance, it remains difficult and
costly to identify and monitor the wildlife reservoirs of novel zoonotic viruses. Statistical …

Data that catalogue viral diversity on Earth have been fragmented across sources,
disciplines, formats, and various degrees of open sharing, posing challenges for research …

The world is rapidly urbanizing, inviting mounting concern that urban environments will
experience increased zoonotic disease risk. Urban animals could have more frequent …

Many of the world's most pressing issues, such as the emergence of zoonotic diseases, can
only be addressed through interdisciplinary research. However, the findings of …

Rodents are ubiquitous and typically unwelcome dwellers in human habitats worldwide,
infesting homes, farm fields, and agricultural stores and potentially shedding disease …

Species functional traits can influence pathogen transmission processes, and consequently
affect species' host status, pathogen diversity, and community‐level infection risk. We here …
