Abstract Surveillance of pathogen richness in wildlife is needed to identify host species with high zoonotic spillover risk. Many predictors hosts have been proposed, but these mostly examined separately and not at the pantropical level. Here we analyzed 15 proposed using a model ensemble composed bagged random forests, boosted regression trees, zero-inflated negative binomial mixed-effects models wild tropical mammal species. After controlling for research effort, geographic range area was identified be most important predictor by while anthropogenic factor hunting pressure. Both fast-lived slow-lived had greater richness, showing non-linear relationship between fast-slow continuum life history traits whereby increases near extremities. The top highest predicted our are Vulpes vulpes , Mus musculus Canis lupus Mustela erminea Lutra lutra . Our results can help support evidence-informed surveillance disease reservoir management prevent emergence future diseases.

Monitoring the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in wildlife is vital to public health. White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) United States have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, and their interactions with blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) raise question whether or not these also carry SARS-CoV-2. In this study, 449 from Northeast Pennsylvania were collected fall 2022 via RT-qPCR presence Fourteen amplified late quantification cycles (Cq) using primers two nucleocapsid genes (N1 N2) TaqMan assays. Three samples on a SYBR green assay during secondary testing. However, melt curve gel electrophoresis analysis verified negative results three samples. Genetic sequencing was performed one look potential cross-reactions causing amplification observed. no significant match found NCBI database. Although all I. scapularis should continue be COVID-19. If test COVID-19 future, research focus determining stability SARS-CoV-2 tick vector transmission through bites.
