Primes¶
- Sanctuary Effect
- In pest and disease ecology it is the reservoir host or seed bank that sustains a population through every treatment cycle.
This sourceDefines the reservoir of infection as the population that maintains a pathogen and sustains it through control efforts in the target population.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Haydon et al. define a reservoir as the population or environment where a pathogen is permanently maintained and from which it infects the target population, which supports the reservoir-host half.
“we define a reservoir as one or more epidemiologically connected populations or environments in which the pathogen can be permanently maintained and from which infection is transmitted to the defined target population.”
- In pest and disease ecology it is the reservoir host or seed bank that sustains a population through every treatment cycle.
- Source-Sink Dynamics
- In epidemiology, a reservoir host sustains an infection while spillover populations would clear it without re-introduction, so eradication that targets spillover fails and eradication requires reaching the reservoir.
This sourceFormalizes reservoir versus spillover (target) populations and the principle that eradication requires reaching the reservoir source, not just clearing spillover.
SupportedVerified against the work's full text
Haydon et al. define reservoirs as maintenance populations transmitting to nonmaintenance targets and conclude elimination requires control directed at the reservoir.
“This identification need not be a management priority if disease control is directed at the target population or at blocking transmission between reservoir and target. For infection to be eliminated, however, disease-control measures must be directed at the reservoir.”
- In epidemiology, a reservoir host sustains an infection while spillover populations would clear it without re-introduction, so eradication that targets spillover fails and eradication requires reaching the reservoir.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 1 supported, 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
