Wildlife vaccination is an important tool for managing the burden of infectious disease in human populations, domesticated livestock and various iconi...

The relative importance of bottom-up versus top-down control of population dynamics has been the focus of much debate. In infectious disease biology, ...

In grasslands, the interactions of foliar fungal diseases and their host plants are largely dependent on grazing by large herbivores. However, the rel...

A 5-yr survey in NSW revealed considerable annual variation in the abundance, racial diversity and virulence of both pathogen populations. Racial dive...

The biodiversity-disease relationship states that increased species richness leads to lower pathogen pressure (i.e. the dilution effect), an effect th...

New invading pathogen strains must compete with endemic pathogen strains to emerge and spread. As disease control measures are often non-specific, tha...

Over a million commercially produced bumblebee colonies are imported annually on a global scale for the pollination of greenhouse crops. After importa...

Many infectious pathogens spend a significant portion of their life cycles in the environment or in animal hosts, where ecological interactions with n...
