  Infectious diseases are becoming more prevalent and widespread over the world, posing a threat to biodiversity. Several vanishing episodes of small populations of white-lipped peccaries have been documented in the Amazon region in recent decades. These population catastrophes are still poorly understood, but current evidence shows that infectious illnesses may have had a role. We conducted a rigorous quantitative literature analysis on infectious illnesses affecting suiform species in the Amazon region, assessing current knowledge and identifying peccary health problems. We discovered that data on the health of free-roaming peccaries in the Amazon region is limited, geographically unequal, and primarily cross-sectional. To solve the logistical issue of working in this field, we advocate collaborating with local populations and employing different participatory .. Read More»
