Sylvatic is a scientific term referring to diseases or pathogens affecting only wild (sylvan means forest-dwelling) animals. In the context of animal research, its opposite is domestic, which refers to pets, farm animals or other animals which do not dwell in the wild.
- Examples: sylvatic rabies; sylvatic and domestic bacterial strains; sylvatic yellow fever
The word "sylvatic" is also simply a synonym for "sylvan" (or "silvan") = "of the forest".
