IAS may host pathogens that are absent in the area of release and cause their establishment and subsequent spillover to local species, possibly resulting in an increase of disease risk for humans, domestic animals, and native wildlife.	./cache/cord-316999-712rit8h.txt	./txt/cord-316999-712rit8h.txt
