The development of new techniques, databases, and information-handling capabilities in the past decades have enhanced the potential for working at the interface between these 2 fields in ways never before possible. This portends a...

The Importance of Mammalogy, Infectious Disease Research, and Biosafety in the Field

The frequent confluence of these fields in epidemiological research as well as the facility of the data generated to be used in applied methods (e.g., conservation, public outreach, public health interventions) suggests that the intersection of these fields...
