| bacterial genomics reveal the complex epidemiology of an emerging pathogen in arctic and boreal ungulates. | northern ecosystems are currently experiencing unprecedented ecological change, largely driven by a rapidly changing climate. pathogen range expansion, and emergence and altered patterns of infectious disease, are increasingly reported in wildlife at high latitudes. understanding the causes and consequences of shifting pathogen diversity and host-pathogen interactions in these ecosystems is important for wildlife conservation, and for indigenous populations that depend on wildlife. among the key ... | 2016 | 27872617 |
