| effect of host diversity and species assemblage composition on bovine tuberculosis (btb) risk in ethiopian cattle. | current theories on diversity-disease relationships describe host species diversity and species identity as important factors influencing disease risk, either diluting or amplifying disease prevalence in a community. whereas the simple term 'diversity' embodies a set of animal community characteristics, it is not clear how different measures of species diversity are correlated with disease risk. we therefore tested the effects of species richness, pielou's evenness and shannon's diversity on bov ... | 2017 | 28134065 |
