Could we prevent spillover by planting trees? Our study on Hendra virus in Australia suggests that the answer is "Yes" This study has been a big part of my work over the past 9 years & I'm so proud of the final product. Indebted to Peggy Eby, @rainamontana & all my co-authors
Our new empirical study published in @Nature shows that rapid changes in bat ecology and behavior – driven by habitat loss and climate variability – drove the emergence of Hendra virus, a fatal pathogen in horses and humans. 🧵
