Q

fisher et al 2012 why do fungi cause high extinction

A

-causes high mortality
-some broad host range= target lots of species
-trade and transport- moving across the world
-fungi flexible gene recombine and hybridise = novel disease
-human activities cause disease
-climate change = change range

Q

fisher et al 2012 how to mitigate threat fungi disease

A

-create model predict animal fungi
-more biosecurity animal fungi
-more fungal disease control outside agriculture
-control wildlife trade

-more effective prevention control

Q

pounds et al 2006 will climate change increase amphibian extinction from BD

A

-yes, although BD does not survive higher temperature more highland areas close optimum BD
-night time may be warmer close to BD optimum = encourage formation disease

conclusion brearly et al 2012 how human modifying landscape effecting disease?

A

link disease and human-induced change complex and variable
greatest positive influence is urban landscape change on direct transmission

25
MCCAllum 2000 what lesson can be learnt from DFTD
-important spot and adress threats early -multihost pathogen reservoir threat also host specific pathogen also risk if transmission frequency dependent -loss genetic diversity cause pathogen cause extinction species this could become more common future
26
jones et al 2018 how many EID zoonosis
60.3%
27
jones et al 2018 how many EID bacteria and why
54.3% - lots drug resistant bacteria
28
jones et al 2018 where EID found
-SE, envi, economic factor -risk vector born zoonotic low lattitude -zoonotic pathogen correlate area biod
29
jones et al 2018 what must be done stop EID risk
-need redistribute research areas EID risk more likely occur- Africa, Latin america Asia -more health monitoring -reduce anthropogenic activity wildlife areas help stop disease
30
keesing et al 2010 how does less biod affect transmission infectous disease
Changes: -abundance host or vector (reduce comp predatation host, increase density host) -behavior host or vector -condition host or vector (could change genetics)
31
keesing et al 2010 how does biod loss effect infectous disease
-change how transmitted = increase transmission incidence -first species lost ecs likely species reduce transmission -loss biod= more likely new species emerge -biod protect against disease
32
keesing et al 2010 what done stop disease
-predict hotspots for long term surveillance -preserve and protect habitat in hotspots -reduce contact wildlife/nature
33
wood lafferty does have high biod increase or decrease disease
-evidence suggest biod increases disease but dependent and complex
34
wells et al 2019 how likliy DFTD cause tasmainam devil be extinct 100 yr
21%
35
wells et al 2019 how likliy DFTD cause tasmainam devil be fade out 100 yr
52%
36
wells et al 2019 how likliy DFTD cause tasmainam devil be extinct 100 yrwells et al 2019 how likliy DFTD cause tasmainam devilcoexist 100 yr
22%
37
wells et al 2019 how likly DFTD cause devil extinxr
coexistance more likely, immediate management unlikly needed prevent extinction , maybe drastic decline start but level out and reach equilibrium
38
how many soecies disease extinct since 1800
833 species
39
will disease cause extinction
cause dramatic decline pop unlikely major cause as pathogen need host to survive
40
example of a speceis went extinct due to disease
-tropical air snail from french polynesia
41
what parsite caused tropical air snail go extinct
microspordin parasite
42
what disease likly contributed thylacine extinction
distemper
43
define macroparasite
transmission via free livin gstages- worms, ticks, mites, flees
44
define micro parasite
rapid reproduction within host- bacteria, virus, protozoa fungi
45
what impact disease individual level
effect fitness- -direct mortality -lower survival -reduction of competitor fitness -behavior -increased susceptibility predation -reduction redundancy
46
why small pop more risk disease
low level heterozygote=susceptible infection -stress individual immune competance
47
how did avian malaria cause extinction Hawai
-island species lost resistance mainland malaria -avian malaria introduced 1700 = 12 extinctions
48
how many saiga antelopes dies may 2015 2 week perod
134000
49
why did 60% saiga population die may 2015
hemorrhagic septicemia pathogen
50
hemorrhagic septicemia pathogen why did cause death saiga
-normally harmless but possible warm weather and humid condition triggered enter blood stream (CC make disease worse)
51
case study: what happened African swine virus entering Belgium?
-game hunter imported wild boar eastern europe -0ct 34 test positive virus -4000 domestic pig slaughtered preventative measure]-forest of limit recreation
52
how many death ebola 2013-2016
11323
53
could zoonotic disease risk encourage cons?
y- encouragement stop trade wildlife n- need address underlying factor trade -could encourage destruction wildlife
54
What are EIDS
-increasing incidence and geo range -moved new host populations -increased virulance -new diseases being discoveres -newly evolved pathogens
55
hoe do pristine envi help stop EID
act buffer humans and EIDS
56
why EIDS increasing
-change ecology host pathogen- increased individual or host = increase contact host and species -human intervention -translocation = disease risk -spill over livestock human -interaction changing = changing disease patterns
57
why are bats implicated Covid
-mammals = similar human -gregarious animals live in large colonies -large foraging distance -old species = lots of time disease to evolve
58
what benefits for conservation did covid have
-china trade and consumption wildlife banned -20000 wildlife farms shut diwn
59
how much wildlife trade worth precovid china
$73 billion
60
how many people wildlife trade employ china
100m
61
why is covid unlikley to have large cons effect china
-large scource income and employment -hard to stop consumption need to change culture -ban drives market to illegal -illagality make all problem worse -market cities move rural market
62
What is the impact avian influnexa
killed 240 poeple -killed million poultrary, wild birds and mammals
63
What effect does chritridiomycosis (bd) have amphibian
affect skin used for respritation
64
how many species decined or gone extince Bd
200
65
why south east asia important bd
-geographic hotspot -original scource
66
how to deal Bd
-no cure -managment prevent spread
67
what 3 scenarios can occur after disease arrive area
1)pop fall after arrive, defences improve pop return pre disease level 2)pop species fall sharply , recover partly disease endemic 3) defense disease insufficient species extinct outbreak phase
68
what is DFTD
legion mouth head -cancer infective agent
69
how much pop Tasmanian devil declined dure to DFTD
over 60%
