Journal ArticleDOI
Sacred cows and sympathetic squirrels: the importance of biological diversity to human health
Andrew P. Dobson,Isabella M. Cattadori,Robert D. Holt,Richard S. Ostfeld,Felicia Keesing,Kristle Krichbaum,Jason R. Rohr,Sarah E. Perkins,Peter J. Hudson +8 more
TL;DR: Dobson and colleagues describe how some host species act to reduce the risk of transmission of virulent zoonotic pathogens to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring global rates of biodiversity change: challenges that arise in meeting the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) 2010 goals
TL;DR: This exercise will examine how the set of possible indicators given by the Convention on Biological Diversity might be modified in ways that provide a more critical assay of the economic value of biological diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoring island ecosystems the potential of parasites to control introduced mammals
TL;DR: Several theoretical and empirical studies suggest that either a parasitic nematode or a virus of low to intermediate pathogenicity might be used as a control agent for rats, goats and other introduced species to allow previously endangered populations and habitats to recover.

TL;DR: Analysis of three decades of CDV exposure data in dogs and lions of the Serengeti shows that cyclic infection dynamics in lions initially driven by dogs became more frequent and asynchronous, suggesting that the wider dog population and other wildlife species drive CDV dynamics.
