Parasite Conservation in a Changing World
In the wildlife health field, parasites are usually seen as detrimental organisms, but many actually perform important ecological functions. This special issue explores the emerging frontier of parasite conservation. Which parasite species are at greatest extinction risk and why? Which parasite species perform important ecological functions, and which should be targeted for conservation? How and when should we act to conserve parasite biodiversity?
