Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease: lessons for conservation biology.

Trends in ecology & evolution - 1 Nov 2008

McCallum Hamish

Abstract excerpt

Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease is an infectious cancer that threatens the largest surviving marsupial carnivore with extinction. After emerging in 1996, it has spread across most of the range of the species, leading to a population decline of more than 60%. This bizarre disease, in which t...
