Wildlife disease research focuses on understanding and managing diseases that affect wild animal populations. This area of research involves studying the transmission, prevalence, and impacts of infectious diseases on wildlife, as well as investigating the interactions between wildlife, domestic animals, and humans that can lead to disease transmission. Researchers in this field work to develop strategies for monitoring and controlling diseases in wildlife populations, and to assess the potential risks of disease spillover between wildlife and human populations. Wildlife disease research plays a crucial role in conservation efforts, as disease outbreaks can have significant impacts on the health and survival of vulnerable wildlife species.
