Context-dependent conservation responses to emerging wildlife diseases
© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org E infectious diseases can threaten wildlife populations already imperiled by other risks, drive abundant species to rarity or extinction, and alter the structure of entire communities (Van Riper et al. 1986; Skerratt et al. 2007; Langwig et al. 2012). Several potential disease management strategies have been proposed (Wobeser 2002; ...
متن کاملEmerging infectious diseases in wildlife.
The processes which give rise to emerging infectious diseases of wildlife can be categorised as follows: ecosystem alterations of anthropogenic or natural origin; movement of pathogens or vectors, via human or natural agency; and changes in microbes or in the recognition of emerging pathogens due to advances in the techniques of epidemiology. These are simplistic divisions because factors influ...
متن کاملContext-dependent symbioses and their potential roles in wildlife diseases.
It is well known in ecology, evolution and medicine that both the nature (commensal, parasitic and mutualistic) and outcome (symbiont fitness, survival) of symbiotic interactions are often context-dependent. Less is known about the importance of context-dependence in symbioses involved in wildlife disease. We review variable symbioses, and use the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis to demonstra...
متن کاملEmerging diseases threaten conservation.
severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) appeared suddenly, sending shockwaves throughout public health systems and economies worldwide. By July 2003, 8,439 cases had been reported worldwide, with 812 deaths; the economic impacts were estimated to be $50–$100 billion (U.S.) (Newcomb 2003). Although public attention was focused on this explosive pandemic, more than 30 such diseases new to medici...
متن کاملSurveillance for Emerging Biodiversity Diseases of Wildlife
Effective surveillance is crucial for early detection and successful mitigation of emerging diseases [1]. The current global approach to surveillance for wildlife diseases affecting biodiversity (‘‘biodiversity diseases’’) is still inadequate as demonstrated by the slow characterization and response to the two recent devastating epidemics, chytridiomycosis and whitenose syndrome [2–5]. Current ...
