Better methods to predict and prevent the emergence of zoonotic viruses could support
future efforts to reduce the risk of epidemics. We propose a network science framework for …

Co-infection is an underappreciated phenomenon in contemporary disease ecology despite
its ubiquity and importance in nature. Viruses, and other co-infecting agents, can interact in …

The viral genus Henipavirus includes two highly virulent zoonotic viruses of serious public
health concern. Hendra henipavirus and Nipah henipavirus outbreaks are restricted to …

Accurate and timely diagnosis of Nipah virus (NiV) requires rapid, inexpensive, and robust
diagnostic tests to control spread of disease. Current state of the art technologies are slow …

Bats host a large variety of viruses, including some that may infect other vertebrates and
humans. Research on bat-borne viruses attracted significant attention in recent years mainly …

Accumulating data suggest that some bat species host emerging viruses that are highly
pathogenic in humans and agricultural animals. Laboratory-based studies have highlighted …

Introduction Bats are important providers of ecosystem services such as pollination, seed
dispersal, and insect control but also act as natural reservoirs for virulent zoonotic viruses …

Emerging infectious diseases, biodiversity loss, and anthropogenic environmental change
are interconnected crises with massive social and ecological costs. In this Review, we …

Habitat-mediated global change is driving shifts in species' distributions which can alter the
spatial risks associated with emerging zoonotic pathogens. Many emerging infectious …

Henipaviruses were first identified 30 years ago and have since been associated with over
30 outbreaks of disease in humans. Highly pathogenic henipaviruses include Hendra virus …
