America needs a national center for infectious disease intelligence
Such an agency may cost billions and take time to plan and implement, but we can take the first step now, which is to create a national network of people and organizations.
Integrating data mining and transmission theory in the ecology of infectious diseases
We propose a novel approach that combines data mining with theoretical models of disease dynamics. Using rodents as an example, we incorporate statistical differences in the life‐history features of ...

Scaling of Host Competence
Body size influences many traits including those that affect host competence, the
propensity to cause new infections. Here, we employ a new framework to reveal that,
for at least two infections, West Nile virus and Lyme disease, large hosts...
Global Patterns of Zoonotic Disease in Mammals
As the frequency and prevalence of zoonotic diseases increase worldwide, investigating
how mammal host distributions determine patterns of human disease and predicting which
regions are at greatest risk for future zoonotic disease emergence are two...

Parasite and pathogen effects on ecosystem processes: A quantitative review
Pathogens and parasites (henceforth “pathogens”) can make up a large percentage of the biomass found in ecosystems, and therefore, their impacts on ecosystem processes should be prominent. Pathogens ...
New Timeliness Metrics Seek to Improve Pandemic Preparedness
Fellows devise first-ever “One Health” timeliness metrics to track improvements in disease surveillance As the novel coronavirus continues to grip...

Why One Expert Is Still Making COVID-19 Models, Despite The Uncertainty
For the past few months, we’ve heard a lot about statistical models and their predictions of what might happen as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on. Their estimate…
The macroecology and evolution of avian competence for Borrelia burgdorferi
Most efforts to predict novel reservoirs of emerging infectious diseases rely upon information about the infection status of host species rather than their competence, the ability to transmit pathogens to new susceptible hosts or vectors. Although...

Fight Pandemics Like Wildfires
As the new coronavirus spreads around the world, causing markets to plunge and analysts to slash growth projections, the epidemic’s potential to damage the global economy is rapidly becoming clear. The regions in China that have been hardest hit by...

Can an Algorithm Predict the Next Zoonotic Disease Outbreak?
Researchers are using this algorithm to predict which regions are likely to see a zoonotic disease outbreak, and hopefully prevent the next global pandemic.
How Computer Modeling Of COVID-19's Spread Could Help Fight The Virus
As the world watches the outbreak of a novel coronavirus, epidemiologists are watching simulations of that outbreak on their computers to try to predict what might happen next.

Homologous recombination is an intrinsic defense against antiviral RNA interference
In an effort to determine whether host defenses can significantly influence the prevalence of different virus groups, we applied identical selective pressures onto four families of diverse viruses. Using an RNAi-like defense, we found that the...
