HighlightsPassive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides new opportunities to characterise zoonotic and vector-borne disease dynamics in changing landscapes. Acoustic data can inform our understanding of variables that drive transmission risk, including human and wildlife occupancy over space and time and changes in habitat quality. With low-cost hardware, cloud-based computing, and open-source platforms, acoustic data collection and analysis methods are increasingly accessible to nonspecialist users.
