Summary:

Although we consider conservation medicine an emerging field, the concept is the result of a long evolution of trans-disciplinary thinking within the health and ecological sciences. Conservation medicine examines the links among changes in climate, habitat quality, and land use; emergence and re-emergence of infectious agents, parasites and environmental contaminants; and maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem functions as they sustain the health of plant and animal communities. In the last decade, the field has seen remarkable growth and led to countless innovations-the development of non-invasive physiological and behavioral monitoring techniques, the adaptation of modern molecular biological and biomedical techniques, and the design of population level disease monitoring strategies among them. Through detailed case studies and numerous applied examples, New Directions of Conservation Medicine: Applied Cases of Ecological Health presents new tools and institutional initiatives for assessing and monitoring ecological health concerns, as well as new types of integrated ecological health assessment. The book challenges the notion that human health is an isolated concern removed from the bounds of ecology and species interactions, arguing that the disciplines of human health, animal health, and ecosystem health are quickly merging and, in the near future, will become inextricably entwined.
