Determinants of vector-borne avian pathogen occurrence in a mosaic of habitat fragmentation in California
These results highlight that while environmental factors (specifically habitat fragmentation) have a limited role in vector-borne pathogen prevalence, the indirect impact to biotic factors (community composition) can have consequences for both Haemoproteus and B. burgdorferi prevalence in birds. Given the pervasiveness of habitat fragmentation, our results are of broad significance.
