Domestic-wildlife interfaces constitute dynamic and heterogeneous systems in which ecological, epidemiological, and socio-economic processes converge, creating opportunities for pathogen transmission between wildlife, domestic animals, humans, and the shared environment. These interfaces evolve in response to several factors including land-use change, agricultural intensification, wildlife population recovery, animal trade, globalization, or human mobility, among others, all of which reshape pathogen transmission pathways across spatial and temporal scales (1, 2).
Volume I emphasized the need for integrative and interdisciplinary research to characterize eco-epidemiological drivers in these complex epidemiological systems to inform disease management and control strategies (1). Building directly upon this conceptual framework, Volume II continues the reflection around this topic by focusing on applied eco-epidemiology, risk-based surveillance, and intervention-oriented research. Together, both volumes provide a coherent and complementary background that promotes the implementation of One Health approaches at different domestic-wildlife interfaces
