Their numbers were already in decline before the bushfires because of endemic disease, the destruction of their habitats by uncontrolled logging, and illegal wildlife trafficking.

由于地方性疾病、毫无节制的砍伐对它们栖息地的破坏，以及野生动物的非法贩运，在山火爆发发生之前它们的数量已经在下降了。

That stress increases the probability that an endemic disease will turn into an outbreak that can completely wipe out meerkat populations… . with the extinction risk for local groups predicted to double over the next dozen years.

生理应激增加了地方病爆发的可能性，而这种爆发会彻底消灭猫鼬种群——预计未来十几年中当地种群的灭绝风险会翻番。

Diseases can be classified differently. For instance, an epidemic disease is one that strikes many persons in a community. When it strikes the same region year after year it is an endemic disease.

急性病发作快、病程短。举个例子来说，急性心脏病常常无征兆的地发作，而且会很快致命。
