    Snippet: The relationship between biodiversity loss and disease emergence was originally based on the dilution effect hypothesis. Vector-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and West Nile Virus illness in North America represent some of the best examples validating this theory (Ostfeld, 2009; Levine et al., 2017) . The dilution effect hypothesis predicts that diverse ecological communities limit disease spread via several mechanisms. Therefore, diversity l.....
    Document: The relationship between biodiversity loss and disease emergence was originally based on the dilution effect hypothesis. Vector-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and West Nile Virus illness in North America represent some of the best examples validating this theory (Ostfeld, 2009; Levine et al., 2017) . The dilution effect hypothesis predicts that diverse ecological communities limit disease spread via several mechanisms. Therefore, diversity loss could worsen epidemics that harm humans and wildlife. However, there is contentious debate over whether this hypothesis applies broadly, especially for parasites that infect humans (Civitello et al., 2015; Ruyts et al., 2018) .
