Invasive pythons in southern Florida have been devastating to the region’s ecology, competing with native species for habitat and food sources.

Rob Ossiboff, a veterinary pathologist and wildlife disease expert, will discuss some of the potential implications of these viruses and other diseases introduced by the pythons for native wildlife and ecosystem health.
