Journal ArticleDOI
Global trends in emerging infectious diseases
Kate E. Jones,Nikkita Gunvant Patel,Marc A. Levy,Adam Storeygard,Adam Storeygard,Deborah Balk,Deborah Balk,John L. Gittleman,Peter Daszak +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that global resources to counter disease emergence are poorly allocated, with the majority of the scientific and surveillance effort focused on countries from where the next important EID is least likely to originate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging Infectious Diseases of Wildlife-- Threats to Biodiversity and Human Health
TL;DR: These phenomena have two major biological implications: many wildlife species are reservoirs of pathogens that threaten domestic animal and human health; second, wildlife EIDs pose a substantial threat to the conservation of global biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bats are natural reservoirs of SARS-like coronaviruses.
Wendong Li,Zhengli Shi,Meng Yu,Wuze Ren,Craig Smith,Jonathan H. Epstein,Hanzhong Wang,Gary Crameri,Zhihong Hu,Huajun Zhang,Jianhong Zhang,Jennifer A. McEachern,Hume Field,Peter Daszak,Bryan T. Eaton,Shuyi Zhang,Lin-Fa Wang +16 more
TL;DR: It is reported that species of bats are a natural host of coronaviruses closely related to those responsible for the SARS outbreak, and these viruses display greater genetic variation than SARS-CoV isolated from humans or from civets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chytridiomycosis causes amphibian mortality associated with population declines in the rain forests of Australia and Central America.
Lee Berger,Richard Speare,Peter Daszak,D.E. Green,Andrew A. Cunningham,C. L. Goggin,R Slocombe,Mark A. Ragan,Alex D. Hyatt,Keith R. McDonald,Harry B. Hines,Karen R. Lips,Gerry Marantelli,H. Parkes +13 more
TL;DR: Experimental data support the conclusion that cutaneous chytridiomycosis is a fatal disease of anurans, and it is hypothesize that it is the proximate cause of these recent amphibian declines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of biodiversity on the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases
Felicia Keesing,Lisa K. Belden,Peter Daszak,Andrew P. Dobson,C. Drew Harvell,Robert D. Holt,Peter J. Hudson,Anna E. Jolles,Kate E. Jones,Charles E. Mitchell,Samuel S. Myers,Tiffany L. Bogich,Richard S. Ostfeld +12 more
TL;DR: Overall, despite many remaining questions, current evidence indicates that preserving intact ecosystems and their endemic biodiversity should generally reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases.
