1. Chronic infections may have negative impacts on wildlife populations, yet their effects are difficult to detect in the absence of long-term population monitoring. Brucella abortus, the bacteria responsible for bovine brucellosis, causes chronic infections and abortions in wild and domestic ungulates, but its impact on population dynamics is not...

consequences of brucellosis in African buffalo
Gorsich, E. E., Ezenwa, V. O
Brucellosis is a disease of veterinary and public health importance worldwide. In sub-
Saharan Africa, where this disease has been detected in several free-ranging wildlife species,
successful disease control may be dependent on accurate detection in wildlife reservoirs,
including African buffalo (Syncerus caffer). This study estimates the sensitivity and specificity...

Most wild animals face concurrent challenges by multiple
infectious organisms, and immunological responses triggered by
some parasites may increase susceptibility to other infectious agents.
Immune-mediated interactions among parasites have been investigated
among individuals in a population, but less is known about
broader comparative patterns. We investigated the “macro-micro facilitation
hypothesis”...
