Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging Infectious Diseases of Wildlife-- Threats to Biodiversity and Human Health
TL;DR: These phenomena have two major biological implications: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chytridiomycosis causes amphibian mortality associated with population declines in the rain forests of Australia and Central America.

TL;DR: Experimental data support the conclusion that cutaneous chytridiomycosis is a fatal disease of anurans, and it is hypothesize that it is the proximate cause of these recent amphibian declines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging infectious diseases of plants: pathogen pollution, climate change and agrotechnology drivers
Pamela K. Anderson,Andrew A. Cunningham,Nikkita Gunvant Patel,Francisco José Morales,Paul R. Epstein,Peter Daszak +5 more
TL;DR: This work applies the definition of EIDs used in the medical and veterinary fields to botany and highlights a series of emerging plant diseases, including EIDs of cultivated and wild plants, some of which are of significant conservation concern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging infectious diseases and amphibian population declines.
TL;DR: The role of these diseases in the global decline of amphibian populations is examined and hypotheses for the origins and impact of these panzootics are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious disease and amphibian population declines
TL;DR: It is suggested that, in common with many emerging infectious diseases of humans, domestic animals and other wildlife species, emergence of chytridiomycosis may be driven by anthropogenic introduction (pathogen pollution).
