| Descripció: | Research on wildlife diseases is a challenge that goes from determining a significant sample size to choosing the sampling site and then confronting the particularities of field work and the studied species. The challenge intensifies when it is in the ocean where marine biodiversity is threatened by infectious diseases. Marine diseases associated to the increase in warming ocean conditions are silent and can reach a large scale before being noticed. Underwater diseases need to be stopped from spreading by identifying their causative microorganisms and the environmental conditions that trigger them. This requires significant scientific investigations together with government funding. |
