Addressing Disease Risks When Recovering Species at Risk
Abstract: Infectious and noninfectious diseases have had major impacts on free-ranging wildlife populations, and are especially important when recovering species at risk. For example, disease has hindered recovery of the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis), Florid...
