Emerging Infectious Diseases of Wildlife-- Threats to Biodiversity and Human Health

Peter Daszak, +2 more
- 21 Jan 2000 - 
TL;DR: These phenomena have two major biological implications: many wildlife species are reservoirs of pathogens that threaten domestic animal and human health; second, wildlife EIDs pose a substantial threat to the conservation of global biodiversity.

Emerging infectious diseases and amphibian population declines.

Peter Daszak, +5 more
- 01 Nov 1999 - 
TL;DR: The role of these diseases in the global decline of amphibian populations is examined and hypotheses for the origins and impact of these panzootics are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The importance of immune gene variability (MHC) in evolutionary ecology and conservation

Simone Sommer
- 20 Oct 2005 - 
TL;DR: Empirical support for the functional importance of MHC variability in parasite resistance is summarised with emphasis on the evidence derived from free-ranging animal populations investigated in their natural habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI

Roles of parasites in animal invasions.

John Prenter, +3 more
- 01 Jul 2004 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the influence of parasitism on the outcomes of animal invasions is more subtle and wide ranging than has been previously realized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecological replacement of native red squirrels by invasive greys driven by disease

Daniel M. Tompkins, +2 more
- 01 Mar 2003 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that parapoxvirus is likely to have played a crucial role in the red squirrel decline even though the prevalence of infection is low, and conservationists should pay particular attention to pathogens, even when they occur at low prevalence.

Roy M. Anderson, +1 more
TL;DR: When you read more every page of this population biology of infectious diseases, what you will obtain is something great.

Prevention of Population Cycles by Parasite Removal

Peter J. Hudson, +2 more
- 18 Dec 1998 - 
TL;DR: Treatment of the grouse population prevented population crashes, demonstrating that parasites were the cause of the cyclic fluctuations.

Ecology of infectious diseases in natural populations

Bryan T. Grenfell, +1 more
TL;DR: A review of the impact of infectious diseases on wild animal populations can be found in this article, where the authors present a mathematical model for macroparasites of wildlife and discuss the evolution of host-parasite interactions.

Ectoparasitism as a Cost of Coloniality in Cliff Swallows (Hirundo Pyrrhonota)

Charles R. Brown, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1986 - 
TL;DR: It was showed that swallow bugs lower nestling body mass and nestling survivorship in large Cliff Swallow colonies but not in small ones, and Cliff Swallows were more likely to construct new nests in large colonies than in small colonies, probably in response to heavier infestations of ectoparasites in the existing nests of large colonies.
