Latitudinal gradients of parasite species richness in primates (2005, background): “Vector transmission is expected to confer greater opportunities for pathogens to cross species boundaries (Woolhouse et al., 2001), as compared to parasites transmitted by direct contact.”
Establishment of an emerging generalist pathogen in redwood forest communities (2005, background): “…of the pathogen (J. M. Davidson, unpublished observations) and such trunk infections may serve as ecological dead ends for P. ramorum (cf. zoonotic diseases, such as bubonic plague and Lyme disease, in which humans serve as dead-end hosts, Keeling & Gilligan 2000; Woolhouse et al. 2001).”
Sudden oak death: endangering California and Oregon forest ecosystems (2003, background): “In this sense, P ramorum acts like a zoonotic disease, such as bubonic plague or Lyme disease, in which humans serve as dead-end hosts (Keeling and Gilligan 2000; Woolhouse et al. 2001).”
Effects of species diversity on disease risk. (2006, background): “This assumption appears to be appropriate in many cases (Begon et al. 1999; Woolhouse et al. 2001).”
Microbial Hub Taxa Link Host and Abiotic Factors to Plant Microbiome Variation (2016, background): “Distribution, dispersal, and species sorting to some extent go hand in hand, since strong adaptation of microbes to specific hosts have reproductive costs [50] and in some cases can limit their transmissibility [51].”
Urbanization and the ecology of wildlife diseases (2006, background): “Indeed, many pathogens are capable of infecting multiple host species [11, 12 ], and some pose serious threats to human health and already vulnerable wildlife populations [13].”
Risk factors for human disease emergence. (2001, background): “In addition, zoonoses are relatively likely to be transmitted indirectly (including transmission by intermediate hosts) or by vectors, suggesting that these transmission routes may be associated with lower host speci¢city (Woolhouse et al. 2001).”
Non-native aquatic animals introductions have driven disease emergence in Europe (2011, background): “…the level of virulence and transmissibility in each host, the introduction of a second host with a different susceptibility can lead to a change of virulence of the pathogen and thus could alter its potential transmissibility to the first host and the outcome of infection (Woolhouse et al. 2001).”
