Biodiversity data supports research on human infectious diseases: Global trends, challenges, and opportunities by Francisca Astorga, Quentin Groom, Paloma Helena Fernandes Shimabukuro, Sylvie Manguin, Daniel Noesgaard, Thomas Orrell, Marianne Sinka, Tim Hirsch, Dmitry Schigel

“…Nevertheless, despite several data-mobilization initiatives, the usage of biodiversity data for research into disease dynamics has not yet been fully leveraged.To explore current contribution, trends, and to identify limitations, we characterized biodiversity data usage in scientific publications related to human health, contrasting patterns of studies citing the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) with those obtaining data from other sources.We found that the studies mainly obtained data from scientific literature and other not aggregated or standardized sources. …”
