Recognized links between infectious diseases in humans, animals and wildlife have led to increasing calls, both nationally and internationally, to reduce human vulnerability to infectious diseases by better integrating infectious disease control policies targeting humans, animals and wildlife. The purpose of this project is to: (1) investigate the extent to which the existing legal and policy framework for infectious disease control in humans, animals, and wildlife is characterized by a lack of integration: (2) consider reasons for this lack of integration by exploring the structural, constitutional, or other limitations and constraints to better integration; and (3) examine ways to more closely align the legal and policy framework for infectious disease control with best practices in wildlife health.
