As we start unravelling the full extent of emerging infectious diseases, there is an urgent need to facilitate multidisciplinary research in this area. Even though research in ecology has always had a strong theoretical component, cultural and technical hurdles often hamper direct collaboration between theoreticians and empiricists. Building upon our collective experience of multidisciplinary research and teaching in this area, we propose practical guidelines to help with effective integration among mathematical modelling, fieldwork and laboratory work. Modelling tools can be used at all steps of a field\u2010based research programme, from the formulation of working hypotheses to field study design and data analysis. We illustrate our model\u2010guided fieldwork framework with two case studies we have been conducting on wildlife infectious diseases: plague transmission in prairie dogs and lyssavirus dynamics in <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">A<\/jats:styled-content>merican and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">A<\/jats:styled-content>frican bats. These demonstrate that mechanistic models, if properly integrated in research programmes, can provide a framework for holistic approaches to complex biological systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1461-0248.2012.01836.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,19]],"date-time":"2012-07-19T12:32:14Z","timestamp":1342701134000},"page":"1083-1094","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":156,"title":["Model\u2010guided fieldwork: practical guidelines for multidisciplinary research on wildlife ecological and epidemiological dynamics"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Olivier","family":"Restif","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Disease Dynamics Unit Department of Veterinary Medicine University of Cambridge  Madingley Road Cambridge CB3 0ES UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David T.
