尽管接触网络流行病学方法在研究人类传染病传播方面越来越受欢迎，但在调查野生动物种群疾病爆发方面，它通常没有得到充分利用。在本文中，我们探讨了可以收集的人类和野生动物种群的数据类型之间的差异，提供了一个更新的野生动物流行病学的最新进展，通过使用网络的方法，并讨论了为什么网络可能一直未得到充分利用，为什么网络可以而且应该在未来更多地使用。最后，我们对未来的发展方向和呼吁领域生物学家和网络建模人员进行更多的跨学科合作的想法。
Although the approach of contact network epidemiology has been increasing in popularity for studying transmission of infectious diseases in human populations, it has generally been an underutilized approach for investigating disease outbreaks in wildlife populations. In this paper we explore the differences between the type of data that can be collected on human and wildlife populations, provide an update on recent advances that have been made in wildlife epidemiology by using a network approach, and discuss why networks might have been underutilized and why networks could and should be used more in the future. We conclude with ideas for future directions and a call for field biologists and network modelers to engage in more cross-disciplinary collaboration.
