Geiser Affiliation: Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, United States of America Introduction Emerging fungal diseases of wildlife are increasingly common, with far-reaching consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem health [1]. A novel pathogen gains access to and infects naïve hosts as a result of migration of the pathogen or the development of novel pathogenic genotypes. [...]effective management strategies must aim primarily at preventing pathogen introduction and expansion, often with a focus on potential disease vectors or other means of pathogen transmission. [...]management of disease caused by endemic pathogens relies on an understanding of environmental and host factors that influence disease emergence and severity. Because of these fundamental differences in management strategies, defining a pathogen as novel or endemic is a key first step toward mitigating disease impact on host populations [6]. The answers to these questions should provide a framework for designing management strategies. Because of bottlenecks and clonal selection, novel pathogens of sea turtle eggs are expected to exhibit reduced allelic variation and increased association among loci when compared with non-STEF-associated populations (i.e., from sink drains, human infections, hatched turtle eggshells, beach sand).
