As wild birds serve as reservoirs and vectors for numerous zoonotic pathogens including avian influenza, West Nile virus, and Newcastle disease, understanding disease ecology in these populations has never been more crucial. This essential resource explores the complex interactions between pathogens, avian hosts, environmental factors, and human activities that shape disease emergence, transmission, and persistence in wild bird communities. The text delivers in-depth coverage of epidemiological principles specific to free-ranging avian species, addressing the unique challenges of disease surveillance, diagnosis, and management in wild populations. Readers will gain critical insights into how migration patterns, habitat fragmentation, climate change, and anthropogenic pressures influence disease dynamics in wild birds. The book examines major infectious agents affecting wild avian species, from viral and bacterial pathogens to parasitic infections, while emphasizing the One Health approach that recognizes the interconnection between wildlife, domestic animal, and human health. Written by leading experts in wildlife disease ecology and avian medicine, this textbook integrates current research findings with practical applications for disease monitoring and conservation strategies. It provides veterinarians, wildlife biologists, and public health professionals with the scientific foundation and practical tools needed to assess disease risks, implement surveillance programs, and develop evidence-based management strategies for protecting both wild bird populations and public health. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of major infectious diseases affecting wild bird populations, including viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic pathogens • Detailed analysis of disease transmission dynamics, including the role of migration, social behavior, and environmental factors in pathogen spread • Examination of zoonotic diseases and spillover events between wild birds, domestic poultry, and human populations • Practical guidance on disease surveillance methodologies, diagnostic techniques, and sample collection from free-ranging avian species • Integration of ecological principles with epidemiological concepts to understand disease patterns in wild bird communities • Discussion of conservation implications and management strategies for disease control in threatened and endangered avian species • Case studies and real-world examples illustrating disease outbreaks, investigation protocols, and intervention outcomes TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Wildlife veterinarians and avian medicine specialists working with free-ranging bird populations • Veterinary epidemiologists and public health professionals involved in zoonotic disease surveillance and control • Conservation biologists and wildlife managers addressing disease threats to wild bird populations • Veterinary students and graduate researchers specializing in wildlife medicine, avian health, or disease ecology • Government wildlife health officials and regulatory veterinarians responsible for disease monitoring programs INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$280.00 |
