Distemper, extinction, and vaccination of the Amur tiger. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020
Significance The decline and progressive fragmentation of many threatened populations increase extinction vulnerability due to outbreaks of infectious disease. Vaccination is one of the few tools available to mitigate these threats, but its use is often hampered by insufficient epidemiological understanding and historic controversies over ...
