Does deforestation beget disease?: Leishmania host and vector communities across a gradient of forest loss on the Amazonian deforestation frontier

2023-06-14

Abstract excerpt

There is ongoing debate concerning whether there exists a generalizable effect of land-use change on biodiversity and consequently zoonotic disease risk. Strong data informing this debate is sparse because ecological and sampling complexities make it challenging to establish direct links between vertebrate hosts (and non-hosts), vectors, and pathogens across landscapes. However, emerging molecular methods using in...
