People will come in contact with ticks and other blood-sucking vectors and then fall victim to some unexpected infectious diseases. Wild animals can serve as reservoirs of pathogens that can move to humans. Additionally, the human activity along the road may chase away predators that would have kept the rodent population in check. Finally, the number of species of wild mammals is a key factor determining where new infectious diseases will emerge.
