Is species richness driving intra- and interspecific interactions and temporal activity overlap of a hantavirus host? An experimental test
High species diversity of the potential animal host community for a zoonotic pathogen may reduce pathogen transmission among the most competent host, a phenomenon called the “dilution effect”, but the mechanisms driving this effect have been little studied. One proposed mechanism is “encounter reduc...
