Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten wildlife populations. Most studies focus
on managing short‐term epidemic properties, such as controlling early outbreaks. Predicting …

Infectious diseases are strong drivers of wildlife population dynamics, however, empirical
analyses from the early stages of pathogen emergence are rare. Tasmanian devil facial …

Emerging infectious diseases rarely affect all members of a population equally and
determining how individuals' susceptibility to infection is related to other components of their …

Understanding the nature and characteristics of contact heterogeneities is crucial for
predicting the epidemic behaviour of infectious diseases. Nonetheless, few studies include …

Most pathogens threatening to cause extinction of a host species are maintained on one or
more reservoir hosts, in addition to the species that is threatened by disease. Further, most …

Monitoring the response of wild mammal populations to threatening processes is
fundamental to effective conservation management. This is especially true for infectious …

Epidemiological studies commonly monitor host population density but rarely account for
how transmission dynamics might be influenced by changes in spatial and social …

Maintenance of adaptive genetic variation has long been a goal of management of natural
populations, but only recently have genomic tools allowed identification of specific loci …

Emerging infectious diseases are rising globally and understanding host‐pathogen
interactions during the initial stages of disease emergence is essential for assessing …

Sustainable strategies to manage infectious diseases in threatened wildlife are still lacking
despite considerable concern over the global increase in emerging infectious diseases of …
