随着宿主物种的转移，病原体的转移沿着对保护计划构成的威胁正日益被认识到。然而，有关该主题的出版物主要出现在兽医文献中，这些文献通常不会被那些资助、计划或实施大多数野生动物易位的人广泛阅读。野生动物疾病和易位的问题最近已经详细地写了，但在几乎所有的情况下，都局限于探索病原体对目标物种的直接影响。我讨论了野生动物易位可能产生的不利影响，疾病传播的结果。除了研究对目标物种的影响，我讨论了寄生虫易位对同域物种和生态系统的长期演变可能产生的直接和间接影响。为了减少野生动物易位的潜在疾病风险，我提出了一些卫生和检疫程序和监测圈养和自由生活的动物的寄生虫状态的指导方针。
Threats posed to conservation programs by the translocation of pathogens along with the translocation of host species are being increasingly recognized. However, publications on this subject have appeared primarily in veterinary literature which often is not read widely by those who fund, plan, or carry out the majority of wildlife translocations. The problem of wildlife disease and translocations has been written about in detail recently, but in almost all cases has been limited to exploring the immediate effects of pathogens on the target species. I discuss the possible adverse effects of wildlife translocations that result from disease transmission. In addition to examining the effects on target species, I discuss the possible direct and indirect effects of parasite translocations on sympatric species and on the evolution of ecosystems in the long-term. To reduce potential disease risks presented by wildlife translocations, I propose some guidelines for hygiene and quarantine procedures and for monitoring the parasite status of both captive and free-living animals.
