While deforestation is known to increase ecological overlap among humans, mosquitoes, and macaques, how changes in host communities and landscape structure jointly influence spillover risk remains unclear. Here, deforestation is represented as edge accumulation using the edge ratio-a continuous measure of forest-non-forest boundary-within a process-based simulation model parameterized with previously reported estimates. The model integrates mosquito abundance, host densities, biting preferences, and reservoir competence to evaluate how spillover risk responds to landscape fragmentation. Scenarios explore changes in host populations, and global sensitivity analysis quantifies the relative influence of key parameters. Model simulations suggest that spillover risk may peak at intermediate edge ratios, where mosquito density and host overlap are jointly elevated. Changes in host composition can alter both the magnitude and location of peak risk, and abrupt biodiversity loss may produce threshold-like increases under certain conditions. Notably, spillover risk is not estimated to be highest where human density is greatest, but where both humans and macaques are sufficiently represented in the mosquito biting pool, reflecting a nonlinear trade-off in host availability. Sensitivity analysis indicates that variation in macaque competence is a dominant driver of model outcomes. These results suggest that monitoring macaque infection and mosquito activity in fragmented forest-agriculture edges may help identify areas of elevated zoonotic malaria risk, although empirical validation is needed to assess their applicability in real-world settings.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148498304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This narrative is often extended to cities worldwide, irrespective of their local climate. Yet, this oversimplification obscures complex ecological and social processes that shape commensal rat dynamics. Here, we synthesize evidence across rodent ecology, epidemiology, urbanization, and human behavior to propose a multi‑dimensional framework for urban rat‑release: a climate‑mediated relaxation of seasonal constraints that reduces winter burrow confinement and increases above‑ground activity, dispersal, apparency, and reproductive output in cold‑temperate cities, often producing short‑term population increases before density‑dependent processes stabilize numbers. Warming winters may extend breeding windows and increase winter food availability, but these effects interact with expanding arthropod vectors, shifting pathogen pressures, and the compounding forces of urban architecture, waste management systems, and human activity. Human social responses-sanitation reforms, surges in panic‑driven control, and predictable political attention cycles-can either magnify or suppress populations, often more strongly than ecological factors. We argue that climate change will not produce uniform increases in rat abundance; instead, outcomes will vary predictably across cold‑temperate, mild‑temperate, and tropical cities depending on the alignment of these interacting dimensions. Importantly, rat populations may stabilize or surge depending on how disease dynamics, density-dependent constraints, and public responses converge. This framework provides a foundation for forecasting models and offers practical guidance for urban planning, public health, and policy development in warming climates where rats and vectors reshape urban risks. These dynamics align with the One Health perspective, which emphasizes the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental systems.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148450282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to identify the urban environmental and socioeconomic conditions related to cases of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika in the city of Salvador, Brazil. Data were analyzed using bivariate maps and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). The results demonstrated that vulnerability to these diseases transcends socioeconomic factors and covers urban infrastructure and environmental conditions. The most recurrent disease was dengue, with 75% infections, and was strongly associated with higher percentages of green cover and better sanitation indexes, but with lower socio-environmental quality indexes. Chikungunya and Zika followed a different pattern.

LF is caused by Mammarenavirus lassaense (LASV), an arenavirus hosted by Mastomys spp. rodents (multimammate rats). This study leverages local knowledge to examine how human settlement patterns and agricultural land use influence perceptions of Mastomys spp. population dynamics and affect human-rodent interactions across diverse social and ecological settings in Lassa-endemic areas of Nigeria. We used participatory rural appraisal (PRA) at three sites with varying settlement patterns and landscape structure to (1) summarize landcover and agricultural practices, (2) characterize human land use within different landcover types, and (3) identify types and frequency of human interactions with suspected Mastomys spp. PRA revealed consistent patterns of (1) perceived Mastomys spp. population ecology and behavior and (2) reported human-Mastomys spp. contact across villages and landcover types. All villages reported perceived increases in Mastomys spp. activity in response to seasonal land clearing and rice harvest. Perceptions of rodent movement varied between settlement types, with increased movement of Mastomys spp. between agricultural fields and residential compounds reported in villages where homes were interspersed with farmland. Regular contact with Mastomys spp. was widely reported in both households and fields, although contact type and frequency differed based on gendered agricultural duties and daily activity, revealing potentially underemphasized pathways for LASV transmission in agricultural settings. PRA data suggests human settlement patterns and agricultural land use mediate LASV reservoir movement and human-reservoir interfaces, potentially creating variation in LF exposure risk both within villages and across the endemic area.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148413675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous recent studies have focused on bats' role in the emergence and transmission of zoonotic pathogens, particularly viruses, but relatively fewer studies have investigated antimicrobial resistance in bacteria harbored by bats. Here, we estimate the prevalence and antibiotic profiling of Staphylococcus (S.) aureus in oral and rectal samples from bats in Northern Pakistan and assess factors associated with carriage of these bacteria by bats. Two hundred individual bats of five species: Pipistrellus javanicus (n = 17), Pipistrellus pipistrellus (n = 10), Rhinopoma microphyllum (n = 48), Rousettus leschenaultii (n = 124), and Scotophilus kuhlii (n = 1) were captured for non-lethal collection of samples to isolate S. aureus. Bats sampled were collected from two different provinces of Pakistan, specifically Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, in August 2018 and from Sheikhupura Fort in October 2019. Bats were sampled from three sites: a natural cave, a man-made castle, and an animal shed, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab provinces. Out of 400 samples, 58 swabs were positive for S. aureus, including 34 rectal and 24 oral swabs. Prevalence of S. aureus carriage varied significantly among species (0-100%), with Rousettus leschenaultii exhibiting the highest prevalence. In addition, prevalence varied significantly among habitats but not between sex, age class, or reproductive status. S. aureus isolates showed resistance to tetracycline, gentamicin, and erythromycin and carried resistant genes such as TetK, TetM, ermA, and aacA-D. In this context, it is imperative to prioritize initiatives aimed at educating local communities about reducing exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria disseminated by bats and concurrently fostering awareness regarding the critical role bats play in our ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148259951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated ecological and physico-chemical characteristics of larval breeding habitats across 14 villages in the Ajodhya Hill Forest, Purulia, India, between November 2023 and September 2024. Per-dip larval density (PDLD) was highest in polluted drains near human habitations (38.4 ± 1.5 larvae/dip), compared to ponds (25.53 ± 0.70) and roadside ditches (10.46 ± 0.35). Aerobic heterotrophic bacterial counts ranged from 4.13 × 105 to 21.56 × 105 cfu, with significantly greater microbial loads in organically polluted habitats. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive associations of PDLD with turbidity (r = 0.943), total dissolved solids (r = 0.919-0.963 depending on bacterial indicators), and bacterial abundance, whereas dissolved oxygen showed a negative correlation (r = - 0.890). Principal component analysis indicated that the first axis explained 53.1% of total variance. Artificial neural network modeling further identified turbidity and total dissolved solids as the most influential predictors of larval density, achieving low prediction error (training SSE = 0.056). These findings demonstrate that organically enriched, microbially active habitats strongly promote Cx. quinquefasciatus proliferation and highlight the potential of ecological and microbial indicators for targeted vector management.","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148220561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
