Integrated Approaches and Empirical Models for Investigation of Parasitic Diseases in Northern Wildlife

The North is a frontier for exploration of emerging infectious diseases and the large-scale drivers influencing distribution, host associations, and evolution of pathogens among persons, domestic animals, and wildlife. Leading into the International Polar Year 2007–2008, we outline approaches, proto...
