Responses of Tropical Bats to Habitat Fragmentation, Logging, and Deforestation (2015, background): “, a situation in which high host species richness reduces parasite transmission if vectors feed on multiple host species that vary in their ability to contract, amplify, or transmit the pathogen (Ostfeld and Keesing 2012).”

Do soil‐borne fungal pathogens mediate plant diversity–productivity relationships? Evidence and future opportunities (2020, background): “So far, the underlying mechanisms of neighbours on root fungal pathogens are poorly understood (Ostfeld & Keesing, 2012) and have rarely been investigated explicitly in diverse grassland communities.”
