Just like humans, animals and plants suffer from infectious
diseases, which can critically threaten biodiversity. This book
describes key studies that have driven our understanding of the
ecology and evolution of wildlife diseases. Each chapter introduces
the host and disease, and explains how that system has aided our
general understanding of the evolution and spread of wildlife
diseases, through the development and testing of important
epidemiological and evolutionary theories. Questions addressed
include: How do hosts and parasites co-evolve? What determines how
fast a disease spreads through a population? How do co-infecting
parasites interact? Why do hosts vary in parasite burden? Which
factors determine parasite virulence and host resistance? How do
parasites influence the spread of invasive species? How do we
control infectious diseases in wildlife? This book will provide a
valuable introduction to students new to the topic, and novel
insights to researchers, professionals and policymakers working in
the field.
