Popis: Infectious diseases have long been recognized as a major cause of mortality in human and other populations. Their impact upon host population dynamics, however, remains poorly understood and poses a challenge for ecologists and epidemiologists alike. This report sets forth to examine our current state of knowledge on the impact of infectious diseases upon host populations. In so doing, the gaps in our knowledge become apparent, important questions can be posed, and appropriate observations identified.
