Emerging infectious diseases of wildlife: a critical perspective

Highlights • We critically review the evidence for current vertebrate wildlife disease emergence. • Sufficient data on prior absence or difference are lacking for many infectious agents. • Host exposure to domestic infection sources is the primary driver of fish disease emergence. • Human-assisted e...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • We critically review the evidence for current vertebrate wildlife disease emergence. • Sufficient data on prior absence or difference are lacking for many infectious agents. • Host exposure to domestic infection sources is the primary driver of fish disease emergence. • Human-assisted exposure to wild infection sources is the primary driver for other taxa.
