Disturbance in Mexico is concentrated in the southeast region, where 10,000 km2 of tropical forests were lost between 2001 and 2010.

This represents a constant challenge for wildlife, putting their health and conservation at risk. It can also affect host and pathogen dynamics, increasing outbreaks caused by zoonotic agents.

Our objective is to determine the degree of habitat transformation and its impact on the health of wild bats and rodents in tropical forests of Campeche, Mexico.
