We review recent research on the pathology, ecology, and biogeography of two emerging infectious wildlife diseases, chytridiomycosis and ranaviral disease, in the context of host-parasite population biology. We examine the role of these diseases in the global decline of amphibian populations and propose hypotheses for the origins and impact of these panzootics. Finally, we discuss emerging infectious diseases as a global threat to wildlife populations.
我们在宿主 - 寄生虫种群生物学的背景下,回顾了关于两种新出现的野生动物传染病——壶菌病和蛙病毒病的病理学、生态学及生物地理学的近期研究。我们研究了这些疾病在两栖动物种群全球衰退中所起的作用,并针对这些动物流行病的起源和影响提出了假设。最后,我们讨论了新出现的传染病对野生动物种群构成的全球威胁。
