Parasites and biological invasions: parallels, interactions, and control

Highlights • Biological invasions and wildlife disease are inextricably linked. • Emerging diseases and invasions share similar processes and often coincide. • Policy on controlling invasions and emerging diseases is, however, fragmented. • Biosecurity is key to both invasion and emerging disease co...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Biological invasions and wildlife disease are inextricably linked. • Emerging diseases and invasions share similar processes and often coincide. • Policy on controlling invasions and emerging diseases is, however, fragmented. • Biosecurity is key to both invasion and emerging disease control. • Control strategies need better integration to address both invasion and disease emergence.
