INFECTIOUS DISEASES OF WILD MAMMALS AND BIRDS IN EUROPE

Infectious Diseases of Wild Mammals and Birds in Europe is a key resource on the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases in European wildlife that covers the distinctive nature of diseases as they occur in Europe, including strains, insect vectors, reservoir species, and climate, as well as geographical distribution of the diseases and European regulations for reporting, diagnosis and control. Divided into sections on viral infections, bacterial infections, fungal and yeast infections, and prion infections, this definitive reference provides valuable information on disease classification and properties, causative agents, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and implications for human, domestic and wild animal health.

KEY FEATURES:

* Brings together extensive research from many different disciplines into one integrated and highly useful definitive reference.

* Zoonotic risks to human health, as well as risks to pets and livestock are highlighted.

* Each disease is covered separately with practical information on the animal species in which the disease has been recorded, clinical signs of the disease, diagnostic methods, and recommended treatments and vaccination.

* Wildlife vaccination and disease surveillance techniques are described.

* Examines factors important in the spread of disease such as changing climate, the movement of animals through trade, and relaxations in the control of wild animal populations.

Written by a team of pathologists, epidemiologists and clinicians from across Europe, this is the definitive resource for infectious diseases of wild mammals and birds in Europe. It will be an invaluable reference for veterinarians, conservation biologists, epidemiologists, and wildlife researchers, managers, rehabilitators and students.

Rezensionen

This book provides the scientific community working with
free-living wildlife a comprehensive resource on the diseases
affecting these animals in Europe. However, it is also a
useful resource for wildlife professionals globally as much of the
information is applicable regardless of location."
(Doody's, 2 August 2013)

"I have already learned lots while reviewing it, and I
would thoroughly recommend this to be on the bookshelf of any vet
or biologist with a significant interest in wildlife, conservation
or zoological medicine. In addition, it is also available in
electronic format for approximately two-thirds the price,
representing not only good value, but also an ideal format for
taking into the field where it would be extremely
useful." (Veterinary Record, 23 March 2013)

"Dolores Gavier-Widen, J. Paul Duff & Anna Meredith
edit INFECTIOUS DISEASES OF WILD MAMMALS AND BIRDS IN EUROPE
(9781405199056, $169.99), a key title covering the diagnosis and
treatment of diseases in European wildlife, and is a recommended
pick for any specialty collection strong in veterinary experiences
around the world. From risks to human health and livestock and pets
to how diseases spread in the wild, wildlife vaccination and
disease surveillance techniques, and classification, this is
written by clinicians and pathologists from across Europe and
assembles a powerful technical compendium of details for vets,
conservation biologists, and wildlife researchers
alike." (Midwest Book Review, 1 March 2013)
