Context‐dependent conservation responses to emerging wildlife diseases

摘要: Emerging infectious diseases pose an important threat to wildlife. While established protocols exist for combating outbreaks of human and agricultural pathogens, appropriate management actions before, during, after the invasion wildlife pathogens have not been developed. We describe stage-specific goals that minimize disease impacts on wildlife, research required implement them. Before pathogen arrival, reducing probability introduction through quarantine trade restrictions is key because prevention more cost effective than subsequent responses. On front, main are limiting spread preventing establishment. In locations experiencing epidemic, should focus transmission disease, promoting development resistance or tolerance. Finally, if host populations reach a stable stage, then recovery in face new threats paramount. Successful requires risk-taking, rapid implementation, adaptive approach.
