| Good Medicine for Conservation Biology: Comments, Corrections, and Connections | |
| 2003 Conservation Biology (17): 921-924 | |
Lafferty and Gerber (2002) provide an excellent review of the conservation significance of a number of diseases to wildlife populations and some examples of the significance of several diseases to southern sea otters ( _Enhydra lutris nereis _). Many of the points they make seem relatively new to conservation theory and practice, and are pertinent in light of new and emerging disease threats to wildlife populations. Their article is both provocative and comprehensive. I offer a few comments, corrections, and some connections that might help bridge the gap between those whose focus is conservation biology or traditional wildlife management and those who work in the biomedical and veterinary realms. |
