This
book provides an introduction to disease problems - other than those
of an infectious or parasitic nature - that afflict free-ranging
and captive wildlife. Noninfectious diseases include the effects
of toxic substances, physiological conditions and trauma on wildlife.
It covers a wide range of dangers to wildlife including lead poisoning
and the effects of environmental oestrogenic compounds, oil pollution,
mercury poisoning, mycotoxins, geophagy, organochlorine pesticides,
selenium, and cyanide. This book will be of value to all who have
an interest in the health and disease status of wildlife populations.
Readership: Veterinarians in training, practice and research. Wildlife
Managers, Wildlife Biologists, Zoo and Public Health Specialists,
Environmental Conservationists.
