TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the transmission dynamics of three sequentially emergent geographic isolates of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and provided the first analysis of the trade-offs that shape the evolution of this important emerging pathogen.

TL;DR: The economic arguments that support investment in anti-poaching patrols, rather than increased sentences for poachers who are caught, can be generalized to examine the costs and benefits of other changes in natural resource management that arise when attempting to manage the impact of anthropogenic activities in and around national parks.

TL;DR: A mathematical model is developed that couples malaria epidemiology with the socio-economic and demographic processes that occur in a landscape undergoing land-use change and shows that an increase in transmission followed by either a decline, or a further enhancement, of risk is a common outcome.

TL;DR: An analysis of the seasonal patterns of recovery for several species suggests that the breeding season and the winter are the two periods of high mortality for both male and female birds.

TL;DR: The analysis suggests that the explicit inclusion of periodic forcing in models of wildlife disease may be crucial to correctly describe the epidemics of wildlife that live in strongly seasonal environments.
