For decades, people have reduced the transmission of pathogens by adding low‐quality
hosts to managed environments like agricultural fields. More recently, there has been …

Current unprecedented declines in biodiversity reduce the ability of ecological communities
to provide many fundamental ecosystem services. Here we evaluate evidence that reduced …

Human activities have increased the availability of nutrients in terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystems. In grasslands, this eutrophication causes loss of plant species diversity, but the …

One hundred years ago, in 1915, the science of virology was in its infancy, and Frederick
Twort was having problems with his cultures. Twort, an English physician then aged 37, was …

The dynamics of infectious diseases can be affected by genetic diversity within host
populations, species diversity within host communities, and diversity among communities. In …

How will biodiversity loss affect ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and human well-
being? In an age of accelerating biodiversity loss, this timely and critical volume summarizes …

Most human diseases come from nature, from pathogens that live and breed in non-human
animals and are" accidentally" transmitted to us. Human illness is only the culmination of a …

Background and objectives Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global concern and has
spurred increasing efforts to find alternative therapeutics. Bacteriophage therapy has seen …

The emergence and re-emergence of pathogens remains a major public health concern.
Unfortunately, when and where pathogens will (re-) emerge is notoriously difficult to predict …

Felix d'Herelle first demonstrated, about 90 years ago, the presence of bacteriophages in
human and animal body microbiota. Our comprehension of the impact of naturally occurring …
