Virus-Dependent Geographic Structure of Co-Circulating Viruses in a Single Bat Species. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Understanding the spatial spread of viruses within wildlife populations is often a key component of disease management efforts. Viral spread is likely constrained by host ecology, but inter‐virus differences in infection strategy might allow some viruses to overcome these constraints, leading to divergent population structures within a common ...

A general framework for modeling pathogen transmission in co-roosting host communities. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Cross‐species transmission of pathogens can be facilitated by frequent contact among wildlife. Cross‐species transmission is often driven by phylogenetic similarity between host species, but the role this plays when multiple host species co‐roost is unknown.
