Amphibian Collapses Increased Malaria Incidence in Central America
Biodiversity in ecosystems plays an important role in supporting human welfare, including regulating the transmission of infectious diseases. This report leverages a unique ensemble of ecological surveys, satellite data, and newly digitized public health records to show an empirical link between a wave of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis-driven collapse of amphibians in Costa Rica and Panama and increased human malaria incidence.
