Diseases and parasitism

Diseases in nature are widespread, and they interact negatively with other factors such as weather conditions and malnutrition. In order to survive, animals often have to hide their symptoms and they aren't always able to adequately rest and recuperate. Here, you'll learn about common diseases and parasites and how they impact the lives of animals in the wild. This is part of module 1 of our course about wild animal suffering. In this course, you'll learn about the plight of animals living in the wild. Find out what the lives of the most numerous animals — invertebrates — are actually like and get an overview of the evidence of their sentience (consciousness). Hear what the contemporary debates in animal ethics are and how they relate to showing moral consideration for nonhuman animals. Find out about a proposed field of research called welfare biology, the study of the wellbeing of animals living in the wild. If you're interested in learning more about the subject, we have many articles on our website on the topics covered in the course. https://www.animal-ethics.org Attribution: Photos: · Dead insect.
