Anthropocentric spread of invasive pathogens in wildlife and domestic animal populations, so-called pathogen pollution, poses substantial threats to biodiversity and ecosystem integrity and is of major concern in conservation efforts (Winifred F. Frick et al. 679). 

This statement from the introduction of the bat article truly resonates with me because I recently researched amphibians of the tropical Andes, which has the most amphibians in the world of any biodiversity hotspot and the main cause of there extinction is human introduced pathogens and viruses. Additionally, they are also being effected by anthropocentric climate change another human induced problem that may extinct 70-80% of all amphibian species within the next 50 years. The real questions now is can they be conserved because human interference in these hotspot areas is only increasing and climate change seems to have only begun rearing its true face.
