Research overview: disease as an extinction driver in small felid populations
OverviewFor tiny, isolated felid populations, infectious disease can pose an extinction-level threat that compounds genetic and demographic vulnerabilities. This overview surveys how disease drives extinction…
Research overview: disease risk assessment in felid translocations and reintroductions
OverviewMoving wild cats for reintroduction or genetic management carries the danger of moving pathogens with them, making disease risk assessment a core part of conservation translocations. This overview sur…
Research overview: feline leukemia virus spillover from domestic cats to wild felids
OverviewFeline leukemia virus is fundamentally a domestic-cat pathogen, yet it has crossed into endangered wild felids with lethal consequences. This overview surveys documented and suspected spillover events…
Research overview: genomic source attribution in feline leukemia virus outbreaks
OverviewWhen feline leukemia virus appears in an endangered wild felid, tracing its origin is crucial for management. This overview surveys how molecular phylogenetics is used to attribute wild FeLV infection…
Research overview: integrating disease data into felid conservation planning
OverviewEffective conservation increasingly requires integrating disease information alongside genetic, demographic and habitat data in planning for felids. This overview surveys how disease data are incorpor…
Research overview: progressive versus regressive feline leukemia virus infection in wildlife
OverviewFeline leukemia virus infections range from progressive, with persistent viremia and high mortality, to regressive, where the host contains the virus and may clear detectable antigen. This overview su…
