Conservation of Small Populations02:04

Conservation of Small Populations

13.1K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Conservation of Declining Populations02:07

Conservation of Declining Populations

9.6K
Conservation of declining population focuses on ways of detecting, diagnosing, and halting a population decline. The approach uses methods to prevent populations from going extinct.

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift01:09

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

57.7K
In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

56
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Infection01:20

Infection

6.9K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

What is Conservation Biology?01:57

What is Conservation Biology?

18.3K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Public Health
  • Wildlife Disease Ecology
  • International Trade Policy

Background:

  • Wildlife trade, encompassing commercial and subsistence purposes, carries significant economic, cultural, and religious value.
  • However, it presents complex trade-offs impacting human and animal health, welfare, conservation, and ecosystems.
  • A holistic approach is crucial for understanding and balancing these multifaceted dimensions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and publish comprehensive guidelines for addressing disease risks associated with wildlife trade.
  • To provide a high-level framework for risk assessment and management strategies in wildlife trade.
  • To support decision-making processes through a multi-sectoral and One Health lens.

Main Methods:

  • Convening a multi-sectoral ad hoc group with expertise from a WOAH Collaborating Centre.
  • Implementing a peer review process for draft guidelines.
  • Piloting guidelines through a workshop series in Bangkok, Thailand, for refinement and finalization.

Main Results:

  • Publication of the "Guidelines for Addressing Disease Risks in Wildlife Trade" in May 2024.
  • The Guidelines offer a structured framework covering stakeholder engagement, risk analysis, monitoring, and evaluation.
  • The framework is designed to be non-prescriptive, enabling context-specific approaches.

Conclusions:

  • The Guidelines provide a foundation for advancing context-specific strategies to manage wildlife trade disease risks.
  • They emphasize the importance of a One Health approach, multi-sectoral collaboration, and strengthened risk analysis competencies.
  • The anticipated use includes supporting workshops and enhancing the implementation of risk management strategies.
