The pathogen/wildlife-reservoir-host dimension of the One Health nexus — a pilot linking African-endemic pathogens to their documented wildlife reservoir hosts. Genomes, proteins, and structures for both sides are catalogued the same way as every other species on this platform; this page records the relationship between them specifically. Every association is curated against a real, citable publication, by a curator or a Continental Admin, reviewed before publication, and marked honestly as confirmed or still-suspected science — reservoir attribution is genuinely contested for several of these pathogens, and this page never presents a suspected link as settled fact. Evidence from a preprint, not yet peer-reviewed, is recorded at most as suspected.
Researchers can help curate these pairs and are credited for it.
Status in Africa is set by a curator; species not yet assessed are marked so. Each species page also shows where GBIF and this Hub's genomes record it.
