Wildlife Pathology
Wildlife pathology is the study of diseases and abnormalities that affect wild animals. This field involves the examination and diagnosis of various health issues that can impact the well-being and survival of wildlife populations. Wildlife pathologists analyze the causes and effects of diseases in animals living in natural habitats, addressing factors such as environmental changes, infectious agents, genetic predispositions, and other contributing factors. By studying wildlife pathology, researchers aim to better understand and manage disease outbreaks, protect endangered species, and promote the overall health and biodiversity of ecosystems.
