Knowledge about bacterial and viral pathogens present in wild mammals in Chile: a systematic review

This study organizes all available information about viral and bacterial pathogens of wild mammals in Chile. This was done in order to identify pathogens that have been well-documented and recognize those that have not been properly studied, determine the number of articles that have been published...
