Behavioural ecology and infectious disease: implications for conservation of biodiversity

Abstract: Behaviour underpins interactions among conspecifics and between species, with consequences for the transmission of disease-causing parasites. Because many parasites lead to declines in population size and increased risk of extinction for threatened species, understanding the link between host behaviour and disease transmission is particularly important for conservation management. Here, we consider the intersection of behaviour, ecology and parasite transmission, broadly encompassing micro- and macroparasites.… Show more

“…In multi-host, multi-parasite systems, host species can vary substantially in infection risk and heterogeneity in disease risk among hosts can be driven by individual-or species-level host characteristics. At the species-level, variation in infection risk can occur because of differences in host-life history, behavior and environment that underpin patterns of parasite exposure [1][2][3][4]. At the individual-level, hosts can vary in infection risk owing to differences in exposure to parasites and host susceptibility.…”

“…Heterogeneity in host behavior, morphology, and habitat use all influence infection risk, and probability of vaccine exposure [35][36][37]. Assessing vaccine exposure in target and non-target wildlife can be done using biomarkers, such as fluorescent Rhodamine B [38].…”

“…Zooming in on disease transmission, Silk et al follow on by reviewing how recent epidemiological modelling using SNA integrates demography and information on social behaviour to further our understanding of the spread of infections and thereby inform management interventions [31]. Herrera & Nunn in the subsequent paper expand to a general review of how the mutual effects between behaviour and disease transmission scale up from the individual level to the population and community levels [50].…”
