Spread of Chytridiomycosis Has Caused the Rapid Global Decline and Extinction of Frogs (2007, background): “These postulates are derived from current understanding of the factors which drive emergence of infectious disease, and they determine the effect that a disease has on host population dynamics, and traditional postulates that show causation of disease (Evans, 1976; Morse, 1995; Hudson et al., 2002).”
Effects of logging on gastrointestinal parasite infections and infection risk in African primates (2005, background): “The patterns of parasitism in wildlife populations are influenced by characteristics of the host, such as ranging patterns, density, intraspecific and interspecific contacts and diet (Hudson et al. 2002; Nunn et al. 2003).”
Restoring a keystone predator may endanger a prey species in a human‐altered ecosystem: the return of the snow leopard to Sagarmatha National Park (2009, background): “There was evidence of a cross-transmission risk of BHV1IBR between cattle and Himalayan tahr, although the seroprevalence of antibodies to BHV1-IBR (a virus with a livestock reservoir; Hudson et al., 2002) was only moderate in tahr and does not suggest lethal levels of exposure.”
Emerging pathogens: the epidemiology and evolution of species jumps (2005, background): “Switches from one host species to another (species 'jumps') have led to some of the most devastating disease epidemics recorded, including the ongoing HIV/AIDS pandemic in human communities worldwide, the decimation of the European rabbit population by myxomatosis during the mid 20th century, the ca”
The Novel and Endemic Pathogen Hypotheses: Competing Explanations for the Origin of Emerging Infectious Diseases of Wildlife (2005, background): “The abatement of these threats is increasingly seen as a necessity for effective conservation of biodiversity (Daszak et al. 2000; Hudson et al. 2001); most effort on threat abatement to date, however, has been in the field of emerging or reemerging diseases of humans (e.”
Mechanisms of disease‐induced extinction (2004, background): “Parasites and disease are frequently cited as important drivers of population and community dynamics (Anderson & May 1992; McCallum & Dobson 1995; Levin et al. 1997; Hudson & Greenman 1998; Norman et al. 1999; Kohler & Hoiland 2001; Hudson et al. 2002; Shea & Chesson 2002 3 ; MacNeil et al. 2003).”
