Tóm tắt

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) of free-living wild animals can be classified into three major groups on the basis of key epizootiological criteria: (i) EIDs associated with “spill-over” from domestic animals to wildlife populations living in proximity; (ii) EIDs related directly to human intervention, via host or parasite translocations; and (iii) EIDs with no overt human or domestic animal involvement. These phenomena have two major biological implications: first, many wildlife species are reservoirs of pathogens that threaten domestic animal and human health; second, wildlife EIDs pose a substantial threat to the conservation of global biodiversity.

Noninfectious emerging diseases of wildlife and emerging plant diseases are not reviewed here. R. M Anderson and R. M. May [ Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London Ser. B 314 533 (1986)] give notable examples of plant diseases that could be considered emerging using the criteria in (1 2).

Causal themes underlying the emergence of human EIDs are closely paralleled by factors driving the emergence of wildlife EIDs (for example international travel is paralleled by the international movement of livestock and other animals). The “globalization” of agriculture trade and human population movements [

] can be equated for wildlife EIDs with increasing biogeographical homogeneity resulting from human influence on ecosystems [
