• Impacts of biodiversity on the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases (2010, background): “Certainly reductions in the number of hosts can reduce the number of vectors 15 and also their infection prevalence 16, 17 , but empirical examples are relatively rare, in part because the issue has been neglected, and also because all else rarely remains equal.”
• Effects of species diversity on disease risk. (2006, background): “For louping ill, a similar tick-borne disease system, several studies (Norman et al. 1999; Gilbert et al. 2001; Laurenson et al. 2003) describe the results of modelling and empirical investigations in which the louping ill virus is transmitted among hosts by the bite of another ixodid tick (Ixodes…”
