Approximately 75% of emerging infectious diseases of humans are zoonoses - disease that originate from animal hosts. Wild animals are an important source of many zoonotic diseases that are currently emerging as important human health concerns. A central goal of disease ecology is to understand how such diseases are maintained and spread in wildlife populations in order to gain a better understanding of how and when diseases may emerge from wildlife into human populations.

大约75%的人类新发传染病是人畜共患病-源自动物宿主的疾病。 野生动物是许多人畜共患疾病的重要来源，这些疾病目前正成为重要的人类健康问题。 疾病生态学的一个核心目标是了解这些疾病是如何在野生动物种群中维持和传播的，以便更好地了解疾病如何以及何时从野生动物进入人类种群。
