Johnson CK, Hitchens PL, Pandit PS, Rushmore J, Evans TS, Young CC, Doyle MM. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. 2020 Apr 8; 287(1924): 20192736. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2019.2736
The same processes that threaten wildlife populations increase virus spillover risk.
This research identified a higher incidence of zoonotic viruses in mammalian species that have declined in abundance due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and exploitation, providing direct evidence for the impact of environmental change on emerging infectious disease.
