This book describes key studies that have driven our understanding of the ecology and evolution of wildlife diseases.

What determines how fast a disease spreads through a population? How do co-infecting parasites interact? Why do hosts vary in parasite burden? Which factors determine parasite virulence and host resistance? How do parasites influence the spread of invasive species? How do we best control infectious diseases in wildlife? This book will provide a valuable introduction to students new to the topic, and novel insights to professionals working in the field and policymakers.",
