Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health
Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an
