Detecting signals of chronic shedding to explain pathogen persistence: Leptospira interrogans in California sea lions
Abstract
Identifying mechanisms driving pathogen persistence is a vital component of wildlife disease ecology and control. Asymptomatic, chronically infected individuals are an oft‐cited potential reservoir of infection, but demonstrations of the importance of chronic shedding to pathogen persistence at the population‐level remain scarce.
