Cities as parasitic amplifiers? Malaria prevalence and diversity in great tits along an urbanization gradient

2023-05-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Urbanization is a worldwide phenomenon that modifies the environment. By affecting the reservoirs of pathogens and the body and immune conditions of hosts, urbanization alters the epidemiological dynamics and diversity of diseases. Cities could act as areas of pathogen dilution or amplification, depending on whether urban features have positive or negative effects on vectors and hosts. In this s...
