Editorial: Aquatic one health — the intersection of marine wildlife health, public health, and our oceans

Pathogens potentially impacting marine wildlife, as well as the environment and humans, such as Escherichia coli, Mucor spp., and Toxoplasma gondii, are represented in the Research Topic. [...]the literature also revealed that from 41 potentially pathogenic species, 14 bacteria were known marine animal pathogens, suggesting that some of those bacteria which are potentially pathogenic to humans, may also cause disease in marine wildlife. An atypical and rare genotype of the parasitic protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii, first isolated in Canadian cougars (Puma concolor), was detected for the first time in California sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis).
