This study uses a model to show that disease dynamics during ecosystem restoration depend on pathogen transmissibility, timing of slow life history species establishment, and community assembly, not just biodiversity.

This study detects and characterizes coronaviruses in rodents and bats from four European countries, identifying new viral lineages and highlighting potential zoonotic risks.

The paper investigates how biodiversity and habitat changes affect pathogen communities in European forests and urban areas, finding that host diversity increases pathogen richness but urbanization reduces certain pathogens.

The paper examines the dilution effect of host diversity on small mammal-borne pathogens, finding pathogen-specific patterns influenced by host competence and abundance.

This study examines co-infection patterns in European roe deer, finding that proximity to livestock, sex, age, and activity levels influence parasite presence, with minimal between-parasite interactions.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

The paper examines how different forest edge landscapes affect mosquito communities and pathogen emergence risk in the Amazon rainforest.
