Preface: wildlife disease ecology; Glossary of terms; Part I. Understanding Within-Host Processes: 1. Pollinator diseases: the Bombus-Crithidia system; 2. Genetic diversity and disease spread: epidemiological models and empirical studies of a snail-trematode system; 3. Wild rodents as a natural model to study within-host parasite interactions; 4. From population to individual host scale and back again: testing theories of infection and defence in the Soay sheep of St Kilda; 5. The causes and consequences of parasite interactions: African buffalo as a case study; 6. Effects of host lifespan on the evolution of age-specific resistance: a case study of anther-smut disease on wild carnations; 7. Sexually transmitted infections in natural populations: what have we learnt from beetles and beyond?; Part II. Understanding Between-Host Processes: 8. Using insect baculoviruses to understand how population structure affects disease spread; 9. Infection and invasion: study cases from aquatic communities; 10. Parasite mediated selection in red grouse - consequences for population dynamics and mate choice; 11. Emergence, transmission and evolution of an uncommon enemy: Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease; 12. Bovine tuberculosis in badgers: sociality, infection and demography in a social mammal; 13. Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae in bighorn sheep: from exploration to action; 14. Manipulating parasites in an Arctic herbivore: gastrointestinal nematodes and the population regulation of Svalbard reindeer; Part III. Understanding Wildlife Disease Ecology at the Community and Landscape Level: 15. The ecological and evolutionary trajectory of oak powdery mildew in Europe; 16. Healthy herds or predator spreaders? Insights from the plankton into how predators suppress and spread disease; 17. Multi-trophic interactions and migration behaviour determine the ecology and evolution of parasite infection in monarch butterflies; 18. When chytrid fungus invades: integrating theory and data to understand disease- induced amphibian declines; 19. Ecology of a marine ectoparasite in farmed and wild salmon; 20. Mycoplasmal conjunctivitis in house finches: the study of an emerging disease; 21. Heterogeneities in infection and transmission in a parasite-rabbit system: key issues for understanding disease dynamics and persistence; 22. Sylvatic plague in Central Asia: a case study of abundance thresholds.
