Dilution effect and identity effect by wildlife in the persistence and recurrence of bovine tuberculosis

Current theories on disease-diversity relationships predict a strong influence of host richness on disease transmission. In addition, identity effect, caused by the occurrence of particular species, can also modify disease risk. We tested the richness effect and the identity effects of mammal specie...
