Abstract
The interface between wildlife, human populations, and environmental health has never been more pertinent than in the current era, where emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) in wildlife present unprecedented challenges to biodiversity and public health. This paper explores the multifaceted impact of EIDs in wildlife, underscoring the intricate linkages between ecological changes and the health of both wildlife and humans. Through a detailed review of recent research trends, this study identifies significant advancements in understanding the transmission dynamics, host-pathogen interactions, and ecosystem alterations associated with EIDs [6]. The literature review reveals critical research gaps, including the need for comprehensive surveillance systems, predictive modeling of disease emergence, and the development of effective mitigation strategies that encompass wildlife conservation and public health objectives. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, this paper proposes innovative methodologies for investigating EIDs, emphasizing the integration of ecological modeling, genomic technologies, and socio-economic analysis. By analyzing data from diverse sources, we employ robust statistical and analytical techniques to unravel the complex patterns of EID spread and impact [1]. The discussion extends beyond the scientific realm, delving into the implications for conservation strategies, policy formulation, and global health governance. In conclusion, this paper not only synthesizes current findings but also charts a course for future research directions, advocating for a 'One Health' approach that bridges the gap between ecology and human health in addressing the challenge of emerging infectious diseases in wildlife.
