Background In this paper, the hazard and exposure concepts from risk assessment are applied
in an innovative approach to understand zoonotic disease risk. Hazard is here related to …

Because their distribution usually depends on the presence of more than one species, modelling
zoonotic diseases in humans differs from modelling individual species distribution even …

Background: In Europe, the most prevalent hantavirus, Puumala virus, is transmitted by bank
voles and causes nephropathia epidemica in human. The European spatial distribution of …

Over the past decades, the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1895)) has emerged
in many countries, and it has colonized new environments, including urban areas. The …

Zoonotic diseases are challenging to study from the ecological point of view as, broadly
speaking, datasets tend to be either detailed on a small spatial extent, or coarse on a large …

Natural reservoirs of zoonotic pathogens generally seem to be capable of tolerating infections.
Tolerance and its underlying mechanisms remain difficult to assess using experiments or …

Infectious pathogens are major selective forces acting on individuals. The recent advent of
high-throughput sequencing technologies now enables to investigate the genetic bases of …

Zoonoses, diseases that usually circulate among animals and that are sometimes transmitted
to humans, are complex systems that involve the pathogen, the host,(the vector) and …

Landscape, including land use and land cover composition and structure, are recognized
as important drivers for vector-borne disease risk. Since vector-borne pathogens rely on at …
