Abstract:1. Modelling approaches aimed at identifying currently unknown hosts of zoonotic diseases have the potential to make high-impact contributions to global strategies for zoonotic risk surveillance. However, geographical and taxonomic biases in host-pathogen associations might influence reliability of models and their predictions. 2. Here we propose a methodological framework to mitigate the effect of biases in host–pathogen data and account for uncertainty in models’ predictions. Our approach involves identifyin… Show more
