Dilution effects in disease ecology [PDF]
AbstractFor decades, people have reduced the transmission of pathogens by adding low‐quality hosts to managed environments like agricultural fields. More recently, there has been interest in whether similar ‘dilution effects’ occur in natural disease systems, and whether these effects are eroded as diversity declines.

Editorial: Disease Ecology and Biogeography. [PDF]
Disease ecology and disease biogeography are complementary fields for the study of infectious diseases, both fields focus on the distribution and abundance of pathogens across scales. While disease ecology focuses on the study of disease systems at the local level and during short periods, disease biogeography expands the study of disease systems over ...

Disease Ecology of a Low-Virulence Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae Strain in a Free-Ranging Desert Bighorn Sheep Population [PDF]
Infectious pneumonia associated with the bacterial pathogen Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is an impediment to bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) population recovery throughout western North America, yet the full range of M.

Niche theory‐based modeling of assembly processes of viral communities in bats
Understanding the assembly processes of symbiont communities, including viromes and microbiomes, is important for improving predictions on symbionts’ biogeography and disease ecology.
