Human‐induced landscape change associated with habitat loss and fragmentation places
wildlife populations at risk. One issue in these landscapes is a change in the prevalence of …

Behaviour underpins interactions among conspecifics and between species, with
consequences for the transmission of disease-causing parasites. Because many parasites …

Pathogen spillover from wildlife to domestic animals and humans, and the reverse, has
caused significant epidemics and pandemics worldwide. Although pathogen emergence …

Epidemiological studies typically focus on single‐parasite systems, although most hosts
harbor multiple parasite species; thus, the potential impacts of co‐infection on disease …

Identifying factors that influence animal density is a fundamental goal in ecology that has
taken on new importance with the need to develop informed management plans. This is …

Wildlife populations are under increasing pressure from a variety of threatening processes,
ranging from climate change to habitat loss, that can incite a physiological stress response …

Accelerated deforestation is causing the rapid loss and fragmentation of primary habitat for
primates. Although the genus Alouatta is one of the most studied primate taxa under these …

We conducted a prospective study of bacterial transmission among humans, nonhuman
primates (primates hereafter), and livestock in western Uganda. Humans living near forest …

Forest fragmentation may alter host–parasite interactions in ways that contribute to host
population declines. We tested this prediction by examining parasite infections and the …

Ecological overlap may increase the risks of microbial exchange between humans and wild
non-human primates. Escherichia coli bacteria were collected from chimpanzees and …
