Reappraisal of the Dilution and Amplification Effect Framework: A Case Study in Lyme Disease

2025-01-15

Abstract excerpt

The role of biodiversity in regulating zoonotic disease in ecological communities has been broadly referred to as the biodiversity-disease relationship in disease ecology. Whether biodiversity decreases or increases disease risk, known as a dilution or amplification effect respectively, remains unclear. The literature has focused on the strength, generality, nature, and context dependencies that could explain cont...
