  4. Urbanization and disease emergence: Dynamics at the wildlife–livestock–human interface by Hassell, James M., Begon, M., Ward, M.J., Fèvre, Eric M.

    Published 2017
    “…Urbanization is characterized by rapid intensification of agriculture, socioeconomic change, and ecological fragmentation, which can have profound impacts on the epidemiology of infectious disease. Here, we review current scientific evidence for the drivers and epidemiology of emerging wildlife-borne zoonoses in urban landscapes, where anthropogenic pressures can create diverse wildlife–livestock–human interfaces. …”
