Low mammalian species richness is associated with Kyasanur Forest Disease outbreak risk in deforested landscapes in the Western Ghats, India

2021-04-10

Abstract excerpt

Kyasanur forest disease virus (KFDV) is a rapidly expanding tick-borne zoonotic virus with natural foci in the forested region of the Western Ghats of South India. The Western Ghats is one of the world’s most important biodiversity hotspots and, like many such areas of high biodiversity, is under significant pressure from anthropogenic landscape change. The current study sought to quantify mammalian species richne...
