Ecological Drivers of Spillover
Zoonotic spillover requires a series of interconnected factors to align, including the ecological, epidemiological, socio-economic and behavioural determinants of pathogen exposure, and the within-host factors that affect susceptibility to infection. This project aims to explore the ecological drivers of pathogen spillover from one host species to another within an ecological community.
