Host competence–abundance relationships drive the dilution effect across multiple small mammal-borne pathogens
2025-12-01
Abstract excerpt
The "dilution effect" hypothesis suggests that high host diversity can reduce the prevalence of certain zoonotic pathogens. Despite growing interest, its generality and practical relevance remain debated. In particular most previous studies have focused on large scale analyses or meta-analyses, limiting their potential use for zoonotic outbreak prevention. Here, we present an extensive field-based study of small m...
