During translocations, any associated infectious agents are moved with their wildlife hosts. Accordingly, translocations can present a risk of infectious disease emergence, although they also provide an opportunity to restore natural infectious communities (infectome) and mitigate the long-term risks of reduced natural resistance. Methods: We used metatranscriptomic sequencing to characterise… Show more
