FW 567 explores a wide range of contemporary topics related to wildlife disease and applies these concepts to wildlife management. Topics include, but are not limited to, parasite diversity and evolution, disease detection, the evolution and consequences of virulence and immunity, disease impacts on behavior, transmission modes, vaccination, and multihost pathogens. Students will discuss the management of current wildlife diseases in the context of these topics, as well as gaining experience in implementing epidemiological models to understand and predict the spread of disease through wildlife populations.
