Avian species diversity and transmission of West Nile virus in Atlanta, Georgia
BACKGROUND: The dilution effect is the reduction in vector-borne pathogen transmission associated with the presence of diverse potential host species, some of which are incompetent. It is popularized as the notion that increased biodiversity leads to decreased rates of disease. West Nile virus (WNV)...
