• Effects of Host Diversity on Infectious Disease (2012, background): “…conversion to agriculture and cattle ranching (Goodin et al. 2006; Yan et al. 2007; Zhang et al. 2009a,b), human habitation (Kuenzi et al. 2001, Langlois et al. 2001), and habitat fragmentation (Mackelprang et al. 2001; Suzan et al. 2008a,b) can increase hantavirus infection prevalence in…”
• Spatial epidemiology: an emerging (or re-emerging) discipline. (2005, background): “Landscape composition (percent of suitable habitat) and landscape configuration (fragmentation of habitat) were key positive determinants of Sin Nombre virus (the agent of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome) seroprevalence in deer mouse populations across Canada [ 45 ].”
• Confounding factors in the detection of species responses to habitat fragmentation (2005, background): “Langlois et al. (2001) found that deer mice Peromyscus maniculatus in fragmented Canadian landscapes had a higher hantavirus infection rate than in unfragmented landscapes, probably because habitat fragmentation forces deer mice to disperse over larger areas.”
• Small mammals in a mosaic of forest remnants and anthropogenic habitats—evaluating matrix quality in an Atlantic forest landscape (2007, background): “In fact, the presence of rural areas with buildings and the intensification of fragmentation have led to a higher incidence of hanta-virus on a generalist and widely distributed rodent species in temperate landscapes in Canada (Langlois et al. 2001).”
