In this review some emerging issues of parasite infections in wildlife, particularly in Australia, are considered. We discuss the importance of understanding parasite biodiversity in wildlife in terms of conservation, the role of wildlife as reservoirs of parasite infection, and the role of parasites within the broader context of the ecosystem. Using a number of parasite species, the value of undertaking longitudinal surveillance in natural systems using non-invasive sampling and molecular tools to characterise infectious agents is illustrated in terms of wildlife health, parasite biodiversity and ecology.
在这篇综述中，我们考虑了一些野生动物寄生虫感染的新问题，特别是在澳大利亚。我们讨论了了解野生动物寄生虫生物多样性在保护、野生动物作为寄生虫感染储存库以及寄生虫在生态系统更广泛背景下的作用方面的重要性。本文使用了一些寄生虫物种，说明了在自然系统中使用非侵入性采样和分子工具进行纵向监测，以描述传染病原体，对于野生动物健康、寄生虫生物多样性和生态学的价值。
