Diseases at the Wildlife - Livestock Interface

Novel, comprehensive, integrative, and multidisciplinary approach to the understanding of the emergence of diseases at the wildlife-livestock-human interface Addresses the wildlife-livestock interface in a "One Health" context Provides a historical foundation and new technical innovations from which the study of wildlife-livestock interactions can be advanced Analyzes regional situations around the world, addressing the wide diversity of contexts and characteristics of the wildlife-livestock interfaces

Prof. Joaquín Vicente is researcher at the National Wildlife Research Institute IREC (CSIC-Universidad de Castilla - La Mancha, Spain). His research interests include wildlife health and population monitoring, epidemiology and disease control at the animal interfaces. He currently coordinates ENETWILD and MAMMALNET projects, which aims to improve the European capacities for monitoring wildlife and support risk assessment of shared diseases. Kurt C. VerCauteren, PhD, is a Supervisory Research Wildlife Biologist with the National Wildlife Research Center of the United States Department of Agriculture. His research interests include wildlife-human conflict, wildlife damage management and the wildlife component of One Health diseases. Prof. Christian Gortázar is the head of the SaBio (Health and Biotechnology) Research Group at the National Wildlife Research Institute IREC (CSIC-Universidad de Castilla - La Mancha) in Ciudad Real, Spain. His research interests include viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases of wildlife, with emphasis on the epidemiology and control of relevant infections shared with livestock and humans, such as tuberculosis.
