Animal vagrancy and the spread of pathogens

Vagrancy occurs across animal taxa and biological realms. When vagrants carry pathogens they become potential agents for the spread of disease into new regions. Here we call for consideration of vagrancy as a potential mechanism for the spread of global pathogens, and the utility of using vagrants for pathogen biosurveillance.
