26. Causal themes underlying the emergence of human EIDs are closely paralleled by factors driving the emergence of wildlife EIDs (for example, international travel is paralleled by the international movement of livestock and other animals). The "globalization" of agriculture, trade and human population movements [D. P. Fidler, Emerg. Infect. Dis. 2, 77 (1996); A. J. McMichael et al., Bioscience 49, 206 (1999)] can be equated, for wildlife EIDs, with increasing biogeographical homogeneity resulting from human influence on ecosystems [S. L. Pimm et al., Science 269, 347 (1995)].
