  abstract = {{G}lobalization has facilitated the spread of numerous infectious agents to all corners of the planet. {A}nalysis of the {G}lobal {I}nfectious {D}isease and {E}pidemiology {N}etwork ({GIDEON}) database quantitatively illustrates that the globalization of human infectious agents depends significantly on the range of hosts used. {I}nfectious agents specific to humans are broadly and uniformly distributed, whereas zoonotic infectious agents are far more localized in their geographical distribution. {M}oreover, these patterns vary depending on transmission mode and infectious agent taxonomy. {T}his dichotomy is unlikely to persist if certain aspects of globalization (for example, exotic species introductions) continue unabated. {T}his raises a serious concern for public health and leaves nations with the task of determining the. infectious agents that have the greatest potential to establish within their borders. {A}t the advent of a century characterized by an apparent increase in emerging infectious diseases, these results have critical implications for public-health policy and future research pathways of infectious disease ecology.},
