Pandemic Awareness: Scientists Reflect On The First Moments Of Covid-19
There are moments in everyone’s life when you realize that the world has been changed forever, sometimes accompanied by the fact that one’s own knowledge is somehow special, that people who need to know haven’t been told yet, and that it is your...

Postdoc Opportunities: Spillover of Ebola and other filoviruses at ecological boundaries | CEID
Two postdoctoral researcher positions are available with Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases, focused on zoonotic spillover of Ebola.
UGA researchers to study zoonotic disease spillover
Most infectious disease outbreaks involve transmission from animals to humans.
Zoonotic host diversity increases in human-dominated ecosystems
Wildlife communities in human-managed ecosystems contain proportionally more species that share human pathogens, and at a higher abundance, than undisturbed habitats, suggesting that landscape transformation creates increasing opportunities for...

Species that can make us ill thrive in human habitats
Animals that can cause zoonotic disease flourish in human-altered areas.
Surge In Deaths Associated With COVID-19
A surge in deaths associated with COVID-19 was widely reported last week. The key question is what happens next?
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 ...
