Juvenile agile frogs spatially avoid ranavirus-infected conspecifics, but do not show generalized social distancing or self-isolation

2024-04-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Exposure to contagious pathogens can result in behavioural changes, which can alter the spread of infectious diseases. Healthy individuals can express generalized social distancing or actively avoid the sources of infection, while infected individuals can show passive or active self-isolation. Amphibians are globally threatened by serious contagious diseases, yet their behavioural responses to i...
