项目摘要

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）新兴传染病的威胁：越来越多的证据表明景观退化与人畜共患溢出风险有关。大规模恢复越来越多地被吹捧为缓解一系列人为影响的有效解决方案，并且也被认为可以预防人畜共患病溢出。但是，关于恢复可以提供此保护的机制知之甚少。通常认为，恢复反射镜会反转降解过程中发生的过程。但是，这种关系实际上是不对称的。很少能恢复的景观返回到类似于原始生态系统的状态，并且经常需要恢复的景观需要满足一系列环境阻止它们这样做的环境和社会经济要求。此外，实现积极变化所必需的时空尺度取决于上下文，并且目前尚不清楚防止人畜共患病的恢复类型。生态系统恢复在类型，规模和上下文中可能会差异很大，也可以改变人类与环境相互作用的方式，这可能会对人畜共患病溢出产生意想不到的后果。鉴于这些相互作用的复杂性及其对疾病的影响，至关重要的是，我们了解恢复如何特别影响野生动植物疾病和新兴的溢出风险。
