The text presents discussion of standard approaches to condition management, with reference to certain challenges presented by wild mammal populations and in the light of the results of recent study at the interfaces amongst disease epidemiology, host ecology, and wildlife management. Further chapters are devoted to surveillance, contingency organizing, the application of mathematical models and expense-benefit analysis, and the special case of endangered species. This book gives an authoritative modern evaluation of the main troubles and challenges in the management of illness in wild mammals….
