TL;DR: This work aimed to review how zoonotic diseases result from natural pathogen ecology, and how other circumstances, such as animal production, extraction of natural resources, and antimicrobial application change the dynamics of disease exposure to human beings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic Distribution of Endangered Species in the United States
TL;DR: Geographic distribution data for endangered species in the United States were used to locate “hot spots” of threatened biodiversity, which provides a more sensitive indication of overall endangered biodiversity within any region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemic dynamics at the human-animal interface
James O. Lloyd-Smith,James O. Lloyd-Smith,Dylan B. George,Dylan B. George,Kim M. Pepin,Virginia E. Pitzer,Virginia E. Pitzer,Juliet R. C. Pulliam,Andrew P. Dobson,Peter J. Hudson,Peter J. Hudson,Bryan T. Grenfell,Bryan T. Grenfell,Bryan T. Grenfell +13 more
TL;DR: The use of analytical mathematical tools, particularly modeling, in the development of control policies and research agendas is reviewed and significant gaps are highlighted in analytical efforts during spillover transmission from animals into humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homage to Linnaeus: How many parasites? How many hosts?
TL;DR: It is estimated that between 3% and 5% of parasitic helminths are threatened with extinction in the next 50 to 100 years, whereas habitat destruction will be the major threat to tropical parasite diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem energetic implications of parasite and free-living biomass in three estuaries

Huspeni,Julio Lorda,Luzviminda Mababa,Frank T. Mancini,Adrienne B. Mora,Maria Pickering,Nadia L. Talhouk,Mark E. Torchin,Kevin D. Lafferty +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that parasites have substantial biomass in these ecosystems and that the annual production of free-swimming trematode transmission stages was greater than the combined biomass of all quantified parasites and was also greater than bird biomass.
