Deficits in wildlife health (WH) monitoring at protected areas (PAs) can weaken the detection of infectious diseases; physical, and chemical threats; rapid response; and assessment of health management practices, threatening biodiversity conservation and global health. However, there is a lack of baseline information regarding the local perception of wildlife, human, and livestock health [...]

Earth systems are under ever greater pressure from human population expansion and intensifying natural resource use. Consequently, novel micro-organisms that cause disease are emerging, dynamics of pathogens in wildlife are altered by land use change bringing wildlife and people in closer contact. We provide a brief overview of the processes governing ‘land use-induced spillover’, emphasising [...]
