<p>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."  (<i>Doody's</i>, 2 August 2013)</p> <p>“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.”  (<i>Veterinary Record</i>, 23 March 2013)</p> <p>“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.”  (<i>Midwest Book Review</i>, 1 March 2013)</p> <p> </p>

<p><b>ABOUT THE EDITORS</b></p> <p><b> Dolores Gavier-Widén,</b> DVM, MS, PhD, is Associate Professor at the National Veterinary Institute (SVA), Uppsala, Sweden. She is the president of the Wildlife Disease Association (WDA) (2012–2013) and past-president (2006–2008) of the European Section of WDA (EWDA). Dolores is an authority in the field of pathology and diagnosis of wildlife infections and an active international researcher. <p><b> J. Paul Duff,</b> BSc, MVB, MSc, MRCVS has been Project Leader of the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency Diseases of Wildlife Scheme (AHVLA DoWS), Penrith, UK, since 1998. He has been investigating, monitoring and researching wildlife diseases since 1989. Paul spends much of his spare time in pursuit of natural history topics including conservation of butterflies and the red squirrel in Northern England. <p><b>Anna Meredith,</b> MA VetMB, PhD, CertLAS DZooMed, MRCVS, RCVS is a Recognised Specialist in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine and Head of Exotic Animal and Wildlife Service at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, University of Edinburgh, UK. Anna has extensive publication and book editing experience in the exotic animal and wildlife field, as well as being actively involved in ongoing UK wildlife research. She teaches wildlife medicine to veterinarians at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

<p><i>Infectious Diseases of Wild Mammals and Birds in Europe</i> 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. </p> <p><b>KEY FEATURES: </b> <ul><li>Brings together extensive research from many different disciplines into one integrated and highly useful definitive reference.</li> <li>Zoonotic risks to human health, as well as risks to pets and livestock are highlighted.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>Wildlife vaccination and disease surveillance techniques are described.</li> <li>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.</li></ul> <p> 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.
