Abstract
The transmission of infectious diseases in wildlife populations is a critical issue in conservation biology and public health. Understanding the ecology of disease transmission in wildlife is essential for predicting disease outbreaks and managing wildlife populations. This article reviews the factors influencing disease transmission in wildlife, including host behavior, environmental conditions, and pathogen biology. We explore how disease dynamics vary across species and ecosystems and discuss the role of disease in shaping wildlife populations and ecosystems.
