Comments

Almost all known emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) in humans are originally wildlife diseases. In this course we will discuss well-known 'wildlife diseases' such as influenza and also new EIDs such as equine herpesviruses in zoos, koala retroviruses in Australia, Ebola and ancient viruses and bacteria from so-called ancient DNA.
