Contrasting effects of host species and phylogenetic diversity on the occurrence of HPAI H5N1 in European wild birds
19 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Studies on the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 suggest that wild bird migration may facilitate its long-distance spread, yet the role of wild bird community composition in its transmission risk remains poorly understood. Furthermore, most studies on the diversity-disease relationship focused on host species diversity without considering hosts' phylogenetic relationships, which may lead to rejecting...
