Unraveling the Mechanistic Links Between Species Diversity and Infection Risk From Zoonotic Pathogens With Direct Transmission Among Reservoir Hosts: Rodent‐Orthohantavirus Systems as Models

ABSTRACT To explain patterns between anthropogenic loss of species diversity and the rise in the number of novel zoonotic diseases, the “dilution effect” hypothesis predicts that with lower species diversity, infection risk will increase. The underlying mechanisms have been largely investigated in s...
