Essentials of Disease in Wild Animals

Essentials of Disease in Wild Animals

Price: $74.99

By Gary A. Wobeser
The interrelationship among wild animal, domestic animal and human health is appreciated now more than ever before because of the recognition of the involvement of wild animals in diseases of humans and domestic animals, the impact of disease on wildlife management and conservation biology, recognition of new forms of environmental contamination, and academic interest in disease as an ecological factor. Due to the multidisciplinary interest in the topic, many of those who are called to work with disease in wild animals may not have deep understanding of the general features of disease as they relate to wild animals. This book will fill that knowledge gap by providing a thorough introduction to the nature of disease in wild animals, what causes disease, how disease is described and measured, how diseases spread and persist, and the effects of disease on individual wild animals and populations.

Katie Ferrell

Did you know that a groundhog is really a type of squirrel? That squirrels control their body temperature with their tails? That most squirrels have yellow-tinted eye lenses that work like sunglasses to reduce glare? That tree squirrels can turn their hind feet completely around when climbing down a tree head-first? In Squirrels: The Animal Answer Guide, Richard W. Thorington Jr. and Katie Ferrell unveil the fascinating world of one of the "most watched" mammals on the planet. The diversity of squirrels is astounding. There are 278 species that inhabit all continents except Antarctica and Australia -- varying in size from the lumbering 18-pound gray marmot to the graceful pygmy flying squirrel that is smaller than most mice. In many parts of the world they readily share human habitats, joining us for lunch in a city park, raiding our bird feeders, and sneaking into college dorm rooms through open windows. Reviled as pests or loved as an endearing amusement, squirrels have played important roles in trade, literature, and mythology. Thorington and Ferrell cover every aspect of this diverse animal family, from the first squirrels of 36 million years ago to the present day. With over one hundred photographs and an intuitive question-and-answer format, this authoritative and engaging guide sheds light on a common mammal that is anything but commonplace.

Veterinary Protozoology

Price: $69.99

"This book is based on my earlier book, Protozoan Parasites of Domestic Animals and of Man, the first edition of which was published in 1961 and the second edition in 1973. During the interval since 1973, an increasingly large number of scientific papers has been published on parasitic protozoa and our knowledge of them has grown extensively. Although this book is much shorter, no essential information has been eliminated.
In the interest of brevity and economy, no papers published before 1965 are listed in the Literature Cited sections and no surveys are reported. Earlier references can be found in the Index-Catalogue of Medical and Veterinary Zoology, Zoological Record, Biological Abstracts, Protozoological Abstracts, and Veterinary Bulletin."
