A framework for predicting zoonotic hosts using pseudo-absences: the case of Echinococcus multilocularis by Andrea Simoncini, Dimitri Giunchi, Marta Marcucci, Alessandro Massolo

“…Predictions identified several potentially unreported hosts, suggesting that the current understanding of E. multilocularis host distribution may underestimate the true risk. The predicted richness of intermediate hosts peaked in Central-Eastern Europe, Western North America and Central Asia, while the ratio of predicted hosts to total rodent richness was highest in the northern latitudes and the Tibetan Plateau. …”
