Seasonality and the dynamics of infectious diseases.
- S. Altizer, A. Dobson, P. Hosseini, P. Hudson, M. Pascual, P. Rohani
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology letters
- 1 April 2006
Seasonal variations in temperature, rainfall and resource availability are ubiquitous and can exert strong pressures on population dynamics. Infectious diseases provide some of the best-studied… Expand
Animal Migration and Infectious Disease Risk
- S. Altizer, R. Bartel, B. Han
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 21 January 2011
Animal migrations are often spectacular, and migratory species harbor zoonotic pathogens of importance to humans. Animal migrations are expected to enhance the global spread of pathogens and… Expand
Social Organization and Parasite Risk in Mammals: Integrating Theory and Empirical Studies
- S. Altizer, C. Nunn, +10 authors J. Pulliam
- Biology
- 28 November 2003
▪ Abstract Mammals are exposed to a diverse array of parasites and infectious diseases, many of which affect host survival and reproduction. Species that live in dense populations, large social… Expand
Infectious diseases in primates: behavior, ecology and evolution.
- C. Nunn, S. Altizer
- Biology, Geography
- 27 April 2006
1. Questions, Terminology, and Underlying Principles 2. Diversity and Characteristics of Primate Parasites 3. Primate Socioecology and Disease Risk: Predictions and Rationale 4. Host-Parasite… Expand

Comparative Tests of Parasite Species Richness in Primates
- C. Nunn, S. Altizer, K. Jones, W. Sechrest
- Biology, Medicine
- The American Naturalist
- 1 November 2003
Some hosts harbor diverse parasite communities, whereas others are relatively parasite free. Many factors have been proposed to account for patterns of parasite species richness, but few studies have… Expand
Climate Change and Infectious Diseases: From Evidence to a Predictive Framework
- S. Altizer, R. Ostfeld, P. Johnson, S. Kutz, C. D. Harvell
- Geography, Medicine
- Science
- 2 August 2013
Scientists have long predicted large-scale responses of infectious diseases to climate change, giving rise to a polarizing debate, especially concerning human pathogens for which socioeconomic… Expand
Associations between host migration and the prevalence of a protozoan parasite in natural populations of adult monarch butterflies
- S. Altizer, K. Oberhauser, L. Brower
- Biology
- 1 May 2000
1. Monarch butterflies Danaus plexippus (L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) are susceptible to infection by the obligate protozoan parasite Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (McLaughlin and Myers)… Expand
Monarch butterfly population decline in North America: identifying the threatening processes
- W. Thogmartin, Ruscena Wiederholt, +10 authors L. López-Hoffman
- Geography, Medicine
- Royal Society Open Science
- 1 September 2017
The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) population in North America has sharply declined over the last two decades. Despite rising concern over the monarch butterfly's status, no comprehensive study… Expand
Latitudinal gradients of parasite species richness in primates
- C. Nunn, S. Altizer, W. Sechrest, A. Cunningham
- Biology
- 1 May 2005
Infectious disease risk is thought to increase in the tropics, but little is known about latitudinal gradients of parasite diversity. We used a comparative data set encompassing 330 parasite species… Expand
Loss of migratory behaviour increases infection risk for a butterfly host
- Dara A Satterfield, John C. Maerz, S. Altizer
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 22 February 2015
Long-distance animal migrations have important consequences for infectious disease dynamics. In some cases, migration lowers pathogen transmission by removing infected individuals during strenuous… Expand
