The rise of emerging infectious diseases poses a significant threat to global biodiversity and the health of wildlife. These diseases are described as infections that have been newly introduced to a population or have begun resurging within their geographic area. Conditions that have contributed to the spread of these diseases include environmental factors (e.g., climate change, habitat loss, poor sanitation), host-related factors (e.g., susceptibility, immunity, behavior), and pathogen-related factors (e.g., evolution, efficient transmission, drug resistance). The challenges of managing emerging infectious diseases have been documented throughout the years. However, we can play a role in protecting these species. The following pages will provide information on emerging diseases affecting reptiles. Click on the following pictures to learn more. We have broken down each disease to help you recognize and report, take preventive measures, and encourage habitat conservation. We hope that you join our journey to protect wildlife and raise awareness.
