The discipline of wildlife diseases is a dynamic field of increasing importance to a conservation­conscious society. Beginning as a secondary interest among a group of wildlife managers in the early 1900s, it became a formal field of study with the formation of the Wildlife Dis­ease Association (WDA) in 1951; at that time the WDA primarily comprised wildlife profession­als trained in traditional wildlife management, as well as some veterinarians, but all sharing an interest in better understanding the role of diseases in wildlife populations. In the intervening years, our increased understanding of wildlife diseases has led to clarifying significant conservation issues; we recognize that the relationships among vertebrate wildlife, infectious agents, ecologi­cal disturbances and loss, pollutants, climate change, invasive species, and other factors are very complex. Making sense of the multitude of specific relationships can be overwhelming. Most of these problems cannot be successfully addressed by any one professional, and require networking of specialists in diverse fields to obtain better understandings. Trained conser­vation professionals, as well as veterinarians with a wildlife background, are essential for successfully addressing these issues. For under­graduate and graduate students interested in wildlife diseases, we present a foundation for thinking about infective agents and their inter­actions with wildlife.
