Abstract
This chapter describes research on specific pathogens that illustrates the multiple roles of infectious diseases in the Serengeti, including (a) impacts on individual hosts (canine distemper virus); (b) threats to endangered populations (rabies) and to the ecosystem (rinderpest); (c) impacts of disease on community structure and vegetation dynamics (rinderpest and anthrax); (d) wildlife as reservoirs of diseases that threaten livestock economies (malignant catarrhal fever) and human health (trypanosomiasis); (e) the consequences of animal diseases on rural poverty and land use decisions around the Serengeti; (f) the dynamics of multiple-host pathogens; and (g) the impact of major human diseases (Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).
