(A) When this is replaced by a palm oil plantation, soy fields or blocks of eucalyptus, the specialist species die off, leaving generalists such as rats and mosquitoes to thrive and spread pathogens across human and non-human habitats. 

(B) The researchers said this because diseases are filtered and blocked by a range of predators and habitats in a healthy, biodiversity forest. 

(C) Even tree-planting can increase health risks to local human populations if it focuses too narrowly on a small number of species, as is often the case in commercial forests, the research found. 

(D) The net result is a loss of natural disease regulation. 

(E) Outbreaks of infectious diseases are more likely in areas of deforestation and monoculture plantations, according to a study that suggests epidemics are likely to increase as biodiversity declines.
