The study of wildlife diseases encompasses the health, disease, and fitness of wildlife, and the broad range of factors that can potentially affect their well-being.
These factors include a wide array of infectious organisms such as helminths, arthropods, and microorganisms, as well as toxins, traumas, metabolic dysfunctions, genetic problems, and habitat fragmentation. Such factors not only act individually, but also may interact synergistically in complex ways to affect wildlife health. In this first chapter we give a brief summary of the basis for the emergence of wildlife diseases as a discipline and provide some key general concepts used throughout this text.
