Agree with Fig. 1 and 2, but reducing livestock production won’t stop deforestation, especially coming from a LMIC whose main produce and exports are fruits and vegetables for human consumption. A plant-based diet won’t change pathogen emergence – at Cartago, Costa Rica
A must read for anyone interested in drivers for disease emergence. I particularly like this graphic, showing that transition areas (ecotones) are associated with increased disease emergence risk. thelancet.com/action/showPdf…
