Description
Felipe Hernández, André Rubio, and Andrés López-Pérez wrote a 2026 editorial on how invading animals spread germs. Invasive species that adapt well, move far, and breed fast can carry multi-host germs into new ecosystems. That spread, sometimes called pathogen pollution, threatens wild animals, farm animals, and people alike.
The editorial opens a set of four studies on the theme, from different places and settings. One study looks at city rodents as a quiet route for spread. The editors argue for joined watch efforts that treat human, animal, and ecosystem health as one. The set shows why invaders deserve a place in disease planning.
