title: Parasites and wildlife in a changing world.
abstract: Wildlife and their parasites are everywhere. Other than those important in human or domestic animal health, understanding of these host-parasite systems is limited, especially their roles in wildlife population health. Learning more provides opportunities to explore infection ecology, and the use of parasites as sentinels and probes for environmental change.
