Taming wildlife disease: bridging the gap between science and management	2013-04-16		.txt	text/plain	6623	334	33	Despite the wealth of empirical WDM research, management outcomes can be difficult to predict because system-specific information is lacking for novel pathogens and many theoretical concepts in disease ecology (see Table 1 for a subset) have not been widely tested in the field, leading to uncertainty in their generality. Corridor vaccination can reduce disease in metapopulations; movement controls are unlikely to work for chronic infections Keeling & Eames (2005) Transmission increases with host density Host density reductions may reduce disease transmission, and density thresholds for disease persistence may exist Anderson & May (1979) Transmission increases with disease prevalence independent of host density Transmission associated with sexual interactions is more likely to cause host extinction, and non-selective culling may not reduce transmission Getz & Pickering (1983) Predation as a regulator of host population and disease We use a quantitative, case-based approach to provide a critical retrospective of WDM over the last four decades to: (i) quantify how frequently specific theoretical concepts from disease ecology have been applied in the literature, (ii) identify prevailing management objectives, groups and reported outcomes and (iii) assess taxonomic biases in WDM literature.	./cache/cord-299828-fb84rtmx.txt	./txt/cord-299828-fb84rtmx.txt
