Format PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Wildlife Veterinary Medicine Specialty: Avian Parasitology and Wildlife Disease Management DESCRIPTION ----------- This comprehensive veterinary reference provides an authoritative examination of parasitic infections affecting wild bird populations worldwide. As wildlife rehabilitation, conservation medicine, and avian disease surveillance become increasingly critical to both animal and public health, understanding the complex parasitic relationships in free-ranging birds is essential. This text bridges the gap between traditional domestic avian medicine and the unique challenges presented by wild bird species, offering detailed coverage of protozoan, helminth, and arthropod parasites that impact avian health, population dynamics, and ecosystem balance. The book systematically explores the diagnosis, treatment, and management of parasitic diseases across diverse wild bird taxa, from raptors and waterfowl to passerines and seabirds. Each section integrates current research on parasite life cycles, host-parasite interactions, and the ecological factors influencing disease transmission. Special emphasis is placed on zoonotic parasites, emerging infectious diseases, and the intersection of parasitology with conservation efforts, making this an indispensable resource for modern wildlife veterinary practice. Written by leading experts in avian parasitology and wildlife medicine, this text combines clinical practicality with scientific rigor. It addresses the diagnostic challenges unique to wild bird medicine, including field sampling techniques, species-specific considerations, and interpretation of parasitological findings in free-ranging populations. The content is enriched with case studies, diagnostic algorithms, and evidence-based treatment protocols adapted for wildlife settings. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of protozoan parasites including Trichomonas, Plasmodium, Toxoplasma, and Coccidia affecting wild avian species • Detailed examination of helminth infections including nematodes, cestodes, trematodes, and acanthocephalans with species-specific pathology • Extensive discussion of ectoparasites including mites, lice, ticks, and flies with emphasis on disease transmission and host impact • Practical diagnostic approaches for field and clinical settings, including sample collection, preservation, and identification techniques • Treatment protocols and therapeutic considerations for wild bird rehabilitation and population management • Epidemiological perspectives on parasite-host dynamics, seasonal patterns, and environmental influences on disease prevalence • Conservation medicine applications including parasite monitoring in endangered species and disease risk assessment for reintroduction programs TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Wildlife veterinarians and rehabilitation specialists managing wild bird patients • Avian veterinarians expanding their expertise to include free-ranging and exotic bird species • Conservation biologists and wildlife managers involved in population health monitoring • Veterinary parasitologists and researchers studying avian-parasite interactions • Veterinary students and residents specializing in zoological, wildlife, or avian medicine INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$340.00
