Pathogens on fire: a scoping review of smoke-borne pathogen ecology in the One Health framework
A One Health approach integrates fire ecology, aerobiology, microbiology, and epidemiology across host species. After determining how important the role of dispersal in smoke is for human, animal, and plant health, priority actions may include improving pathogen viability sampling, incorporating microbial monitoring into smoke surveillance networks, and developing predictive models to assess health and ecological risks.
