Wildlife Disease Ecology and Management

Dear Colleagues,

The occurrence and circulation of diseases in wildlife may have several effects on biodiversity conservation, transmission of diseases at the livestock -environmental-wildlife interface, as well as on public health in case of zoonotic pathogens.

Surveillance of diseases in wildlife, joined with the understanding of their dynamics in wild animal populations, is of pivotal importance for the establishment of proper management plans for disease control and prevention.

This special issue offers to researchers as well as to wildlife managers the possibility to share relevant studies and experiences related to the study of disease dynamics, ecology and practical actions carried out to reduce the impact of pathogens on animal and public health.
