Implications of predator species richness in terms of zoonotic spillover transmission of filovirus diseases in Africa

2024-02-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Filovirus disease is a highly pathogenic zoonosis of humans caused by the viral genera Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus . A rich biodiversity of predators has been suggested to suppress the risk of zoonotic spillover by regulating prey abundance and behavior. However, the effects on bat-borne zoonoses remain to be investigated because the empirical findings are limited. Therefore, we evaluated the...
