Macroecological approaches for the prediction of zoonotic disease risk

Key Points

• Zoonotic disease risk is significantly influenced by biodiversity and environmental factors, highlighting important correlations.
• Key evidence indicates that regions with high biodiversity show a heightened risk of zoonotic disease emergence, requiring attention.
• This analysis employs macroecological frameworks to assess predictive modeling of zoonotic disease risk factors across various environments.
• The findings underscore the necessity for integrating ecological data in public health strategies to mitigate disease outbreaks.
