An Ecological Assessment of the Pandemic Threat of Zika Virus
- C. Carlson, Eric R. Dougherty, W. Getz
- Geography, Medicine
- PLoS neglected tropical diseases
- 1 August 2016
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.
- Eric R. Dougherty, C. Carlson, +5 authors N. Harris
- Medicine, Geography
- Conservation biology : the journal of the Society…
- 1 August 2016
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

Global expansion and redistribution of Aedes-borne virus transmission risk with climate change
- S. Ryan, C. Carlson, E. Mordecai, L. Johnson
- Geography, Medicine
- PLoS neglected tropical diseases
- 1 March 2019
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
- C. Carlson, Kevin R Burgio, +14 authors W. Getz
- Biology, Medicine
- Science Advances
- 1 September 2017
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
- C. Cizauskas, C. Carlson, +4 authors A. J. Phillips
- Biology, Medicine
- Royal Society Open Science
- 1 January 2017
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
- C. Carlson, J. Chipperfield, Blas M. Benito, Richard J. Telford, R. O’Hara
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Ecology & Evolution
- 6 May 2020
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
- C. Carlson, Gregory F. Albery, +6 authors S. Bansal
- Biology, Geography
- 25 January 2020
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
- C. Carlson, I. Kracalik, +9 authors J. Blackburn
- Geography, Medicine
- 19 August 2018
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
- C. Carlson, A. R. Gomez, Shweta Bansal, S. Ryan
- Geography, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 27 August 2020
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
