Parasites have evolved a wide range of mechanisms that they use to evade or manipulate
the host's immune response and establish infection. The majority of the in vivo studies that …

Emerging infectious diseases represent a global and major health problem. The
understanding of biological processes involved in the transmission and evolution of …

Parasites, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protists, helminths, and arthropods, are
ubiquitous in the animal kingdom. Consequently, hosts are frequently infected with more …

Supplemental feeding can increase the overall health of animals but also can have varying
consequences for animals dealing with parasites. Furthermore, the mechanism mediating …

Numerous factors are contributing to the loss of biodiversity. These include complex effects
of multiple abiotic and biotic stressors that may drive population losses. These losses are …

The Anthropocene has witnessed catastrophic amphibian declines across the globe. A
multitude of new, primarily human‐induced drivers of decline may lead to extinction, but can …

This review summarizes the role of environmental factors on amphibian microbiotas at the
organismal, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels. At the organismal …

Coinfection of host populations alters pathogen prevalence, host mortality, and pathogen
evolution. Because pathogens compete for limiting resources, whether multiple pathogens …

Amphibians suffer from large‐scale population declines globally, and emerging infectious
diseases contribute heavily to these declines. Amphibian Perkinsea (Pr) is a worldwide …

Wildlife mortality investigations are important for conservation, food safety, and public health;
but they are infrequently reported for cryptic chelonian species. Eastern box turtles …
