Restoring Ecosystems to Stop the Threat Of (Re-)Emerging Infectious Diseases: There is a growing body of evidence that landscape degradation is linked to zoonotic spillover risk. Large scale restoration is increasingly being touted as an effective solution for mitigating against a range of anthropogenic impacts and is also hypothesised to protect against zoonotic disease spillover. However, little is known about the mechanisms with which restoration may provide this protection. It is commonly assumed that restoration mirrors in reverse the processes that occur during degradation; however, it is likely that this relationship is in fact asymmetric. Rarely can restored landscapes be returned to a state similar to that of pristine ecosystems, and often restored landscapes need to fulfil a range of environmental and socioeconomic requirements that inherently prevent them from doing so. Additionally, the spatiotemporal scale necessary to effect positive change is context dependent, and the type of restoration necessary to protect against zoonotic spillover is currently unknown. Ecosystem restoration can vary widely in type, scale and context and can also change how humans interact with their environment, which may have unexpected consequences for zoonotic disease spillover. Given the complexity of these interactions and their effect on disease, it is vital that we understand how restoration specifically might impact wildlife disease and emergent spillover risk.

恢复生态系统以阻止（重新）出现的传染病的威胁：越来越多的证据表明，景观退化与人畜共患病溢出风险有关。大规模恢复越来越被认为是减轻一系列人为影响的有效解决方案，并且还被认为可以防止人畜共患疾病的蔓延。然而，人们对恢复提供这种保护的机制知之甚少。人们普遍认为，恢复反映了退化过程中发生的过程。然而，这种关系实际上很可能是不对称的。恢复的景观很少能恢复到与原始生态系统相似的状态，而且恢复的景观通常需要满足一系列环境和社会经济要求，而这些要求本质上阻止了它们这样做。此外，实现积极变化所需的时空规模取决于具体情况，而防止人畜共患病溢出所需的恢复类型目前尚不清楚。生态系统恢复的类型、规模和背景可能存在很大差异，也可能改变人类与环境的互动方式，这可能会对人畜共患疾病的蔓延产生意想不到的后果。考虑到这些相互作用的复杂性及其对疾病的影响，我们了解恢复具体如何影响野生动物疾病和紧急溢出风险至关重要。
