The book is well organized, well referenced and thorough in its coverage of the subject matter. There are quite a few informative charts, graphs and tables as well as photographs of gross and microscopic lesions and clinical signs. I found a number of unique chapters particularly fascinating…. Indispensable to anyone in the field of wildlife management, conservation and wildlife biology and diseases
