Global hotspots and correlates of emerging zoonotic diseases (2017, background): “The overwhelming majority of emerging zoonoses have mammalian hosts 45 , and global biogeographic patterns of human infectious diseases is highly correlated with global patterns of mammalian diversity 30 .”
Cross-Species Virus Transmission and the Emergence of New Epidemic Diseases (2008, background): “type of virus infecting a previously resistant host to create a new epidemic pathogen (Table 1) (148).”
Urbanization and Disease Emergence: Dynamics at the Wildlife–Livestock–Human Interface (2017, background): “It is estimated that between 60 and 80% of newly emerging infections are zoonotic in origin and thus are (at least initially) dependent on an animal reservoir for survival [2,3].”
The ecology and emergence of diseases in fresh waters (2011, background): “More than 70% of emerging human diseases are vector-borne or zoonotic (Taylor et al., 2001; Woolhouse & Gowtage-Sequeria, 2005).”
Non-native aquatic animals introductions have driven disease emergence in Europe (2011, background): “Human activities, including the introduction of non-native species, have altered many ecosystems, in some cases seriously reducing ecosystem function (Chapin et al. 2000) and possibly leading to disease emergence (Woolhouse and Gowtage-Sequeria 2005).”
Zoonosis emergence linked to agricultural intensification and environmental change (2013, positive): “Emerging pathogens are more likely to be viruses than other pathogen types and more likely to have a broad host range (4, 5).”
Rodent reservoirs of future zoonotic diseases (2015, background): “Until now, investigations of disease outbreaks have mostly been reactive, with surveillance efforts targeting a broad host range (5), but because human activities precipitating these events continue to accelerate (4, 6), a more proactive approach is necessary (7, 8).”
