Host culling is a potential control strategy for animal diseases. However, the reduction in biodiversity and increasing public concerns regarding the involved ethical issues have progressively challenged the use of wildlife culling. Here, we assess the potential of wildlifeculling as an epidemiologically sound management tool, by examining the host ecology, pathogen characteristics, eco-sociological contexts, andfield work constraints. We also discuss alternative solutions and make recommendations for the appropriate implementationof culling for disease control. specialized CHINE ROYAUME UNI IRLANDE FRANCE NOUVELLE ZELANDE AFRIQUE DU SUD TANZANIE MOYEN ORIENT ETATS UNIS MEXIQUE 080PROANI05 052SCHIST02 021ENVECO 3 1 art. 353 [14 ] 2020 2399-3642 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010079245 10.1038/s42003-020-1032-z 2399-3642 [F B010079245] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010079245 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers20-08/010079245.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-08-05 2025-02-24 fdi:010079245 fre
