Lead: good lead, nice that you added info on emerging and re-emerging pathogens, especially within the framework of climate change.

Content: "This indicates that there may be constant host-parasite adaptations to one another or its surrounding environments" -> I think 'one another' is weird here, I know that predator prey adaptations are referred to as an "arms race" in ecology, maybe that would sound better?

" Globalization, mainly through world travel and trade, has created a system in which pathogens, and other species, are more in contact with one another than in subsequent years" -> subsequent means after, I think you mean previous? Also maybe try "come into contact with one another"

I like the habitat fragmentation section, maybe could add more examples like covid, or HIV? Talk about zoonotic diseases?

Pics need a bit more context, like why the pronghorns? maybe a picture of an animal with parasites, like a moose with ticks?

Good examples at the end!

I'm surprised that the original article was so small, I thought it was a bigger field of study, so great job expanding on it! I really like the addition of the "in relation to anthropogenic factors" section! Very relevant. Some minor grammar issues throughout, just needs a read through. Maybe add a picture at the top, disease or diseased animal/human, or an illustration for host/pathogen relationships?

Overall, very cool article, especially considering it's not really your background :)
