Neglecting movement-disease feedback biases wildlife epidemic forecasts

2026-07-31

Abstract excerpt

In wildlife populations, movement drives host contact networks and disease spread. Growing evidence from veterinary science and experimental biology shows that infection commonly modifies host movement itself, a widespread feature of host biology. Yet conventional wildlife disease models treat movement as independent of infection, a mechanistic omission that could bias epidemic forecasts and management decisions....
