Emerging infectious diseases of wildlife pose threats to human health (75% of human emerging diseases are zoonotic). They also threaten biodiversity and livestock. Changes in connectivity between wildlife individuals and populations are occurring because of human activities, including globalisation, climate change and habitat destruction. Understanding how these changes in connectivity affect wildlife disease dynamics is crucial for the development of better strategies to manage their impacts. The project will also build Australia's wider capacity to manage outbreaks of infectious diseases.

野生动物新发传染病对人类健康构成威胁（75%的人类新发疾病是人畜共患病）。它们还威胁到生物多样性和牲畜。由于人类活动，包括全球化、气候变化和栖息地破坏，野生动物个体和种群之间的联系正在发生变化。 了解这些连通性变化如何影响野生动物疾病动态，对于制定更好的战略来管理其影响至关重要。该项目还将建设澳大利亚管理传染病爆发的更广泛能力。
