Social organization and interactions among individuals are suspected to play important
roles in the transmission and potential management of wildlife diseases. However, few …

Surveillance of wildlife diseases poses considerable logistical challenges compared to that
of humans or livestock. Citizen science can enable broader coverage, but building an …

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal disease of deer, elk, and moose transmitted
through direct, animal-to-animal contact, and indirectly, via environmental contamination …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 659–674 Abstract Analytical methods accounting for imperfect
detection are often used to facilitate reliable inference in population and community ecology …

Complex ecological and epidemiological systems require multidisciplinary and innovative
research. Low cost unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) can provide information on the spatial …

Abstract Objectives Explore Bayesian spatio-temporal methods to analyse local patterns of
crime change over time at the small-area level through an application to property crime data …

Host contact structure affects pathogen transmission in host populations, but many
measures of host contact do not distinguish contacts that are relevant to pathogen …

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease of cervids caused by a
misfolded protein with no vaccines or other cures to prevent infection and death. In the past …

Investigating the ecological context in which host–parasite interactions occur and the roles
of biotic and abiotic factors in forcing infection dynamics is essential to understanding …

Although spatial studies of diseases on land have a long history, far fewer have been made
on aquatic diseases. Here, we present the first large-scale, high-resolution spatial and …
