Description

This book arose out of teaching graduate and undergraduate classes in wildlife diseases. The literature on health problems in free-ranging animals is expanding rapidly. The theorical and quantitative aspects of wildlife disease are receiving more attention than in the past, and that role of disease as a factor in population biology is being analyzed. The first edition of this book was an overview of the study of disease in wild animals and of methods that might be used to manage health problem. The inquiries about a second edition suggest that it has been useful.

The author has made a major contribution to the field by providing a conceptual framework for wildlife disease investigations and by highlighting the inadequacies that often exist. His willingness to challenge dogma and constructively present perspectives based on a combination of extensive literature review, personal experiences, and beliefs is one of the values of this well organized and easy to read publication. … this publication should be read by biologists, administrators, and disease specialists having responsibility for combatting disease in populations of free-living wildlife.

An admirable job of outlining the problems associated with diagnosing and controlling disease in wildlife populations. … The author has commendably presented a difficult topic and has shown that the usually successful approach to treating disease in domestic animals is extremely difficult and rarely successful in wildlife populations. … I recommend this book to all who are looking for an introduction to the investigation and managment of disease in wildlife.
