An Ecological Assessment of the Pandemic Threat of Zika Virus
The current outbreak of Zika virus poses a severe threat to human health. While the range of the virus has been cataloged growing slowly over the last 50 years, the recent explosive expansion in the… Expand

Paradigms for parasite conservation.
Parasitic species, which depend directly on host species for their survival, represent a major regulatory force in ecosystems and a significant component of Earth's biodiversity. Yet the negative… Expand

Tactics and Strategies for Managing Ebola Outbreaks and the Salience of Immunization
TLDR
We present a stochastic transmission chain simulation model for Ebola viral disease (EVD) in West Africa, with the salutary result that the virus may be more controllable than previously suspected. Expand

Global expansion and redistribution of Aedes-borne virus transmission risk with climate change
Forecasting the impacts of climate change on Aedes-borne viruses—especially dengue, chikungunya, and Zika—is a key component of public health preparedness. We apply an empirically parameterized model… Expand

Parasite biodiversity faces extinction and redistribution in a changing climate
Parasites face range loss and shifts under climate change, with likely parasite extinction rates of up to one in three species. Climate change is a well-documented driver of both wildlife extinction… Expand

Parasite vulnerability to climate change: an evidence-based functional trait approach
Despite the number of virulent pathogens that are projected to benefit from global change and to spread in the next century, we suggest that a combination of coextinction risk and climate sensitivity… Expand

Species distribution models are inappropriate for COVID-19
Species distribution models are a powerful tool for ecological inference, but not every use is biologically justified. Applying these tools to the COVID-19 pandemic is unlikely to yield new insights,… Expand

Climate change will drive novel cross-species viral transmission
At least 10,000 species of mammal virus are estimated to have the potential to spread in human populations, but the vast majority are currently circulating in wildlife, largely undescribed and… Expand

The global distribution of Bacillus anthracis and associated anthrax risk to humans, livestock, and wildlife
Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium responsible for anthrax, an acute and commonly lethal infection that most significantly affects grazing livestock, wild ungulates and… Expand

Misconceptions about weather and seasonality must not misguide COVID-19 response
Weather may marginally affect COVID-19 dynamics, but misconceptions about the way that climate and weather drive exposure and transmission have adversely shaped risk perceptions for both policymakers… Expand
