Anthrax and Wildlife Show Full Record 1708
Source: Rev Sci Tech. 2002 Aug;21(2):359-83. Resource Type(s): Illustrations, Issue Overviews, Table or Spreadsheet Searchable Keywords: Africa Anthrax Bacillus anthracis Canada Diagnosis Epidemiology North America Pathology Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Although livestock anthrax is declining in many parts of the world, with an increasing number of countries probably truly free of the disease, anthrax remains enzootic in many national parks and even in some game ranching areas. These infected areas can present a persistent risk to surrounding livestock, which may otherwise be free of the disease, as well as a public health risk. The authors use as examples the national parks in southern Africa, the Wood Buf...
Chronic Wasting Disease in Deer and Elk in North America [Review] Show Full Record 350
Source: Revue Scientifique et Technique. 2002; 21(2): 305-316 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Canada Cattle Chronic wasting disease Deer Prion diseases United States Veterinary medicine Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has emerged as an important disease of wildlife in North America. The disease is a unique member of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or prion diseases, which naturally affect only a few species. Of the TSEs, CWD is the only one found in free-ranging species. However, interest in CWD has recently grown, by association with the better-known TSEs such as variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease of humans and bovine spo... ![[MAP]](images/icons/map.gif "Map File"){kind=icon} Disease distribution maps Show Full Record 4325

Disease Management Strategies for Wildlife Show Full Record 539
Source: Revue Scientifique et Technique. 2002 Apr;21(1):159-78. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Disease transmission Infectious diseases Prevention & control Wildlife Wildlife management Abstract: From abstract: Three basic forms of management strategies exist for wildlife disease, as follows: prevention of introduction of disease, control of existing disease or eradication. Management may be directed at the disease agent, host population, habitat or be focused on human activities. Disease agents may be dealt with in the environment through disinfection or in the host through treatment. Disinfection and pesticides used to destroy agents or vectors are limited to local situations, may have...

Geographical Information Systems as a Tool in Epidemiological Assessment and Wildlife Disease Management Show Full Record 524
Source: Revue Scientifique et Technique. 2002 Apr;21(1):91-102 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Epidemiology Geographic information systems Spatial analysis Surveillance (monitoring) Wildlife diseases Wildlife management Abstract: From abstract: Geographical information systems (GIS) facilitate the incorporation of spatial relationships into epidemiological investigations of wildlife diseases. Consisting of data input, management, analysis and presentation components, GIS act as an integrative technology in that a range of very varied data sources can be combined which describe different aspects of the environment of wild animals. The analytical functionality of GIS is still evolving, and ranges from visual to exploratory...

Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Avian influenza Birds Epidemiology Humans Influenza A Virus Influenza in birds Mammals Outbreaks Pathogenicity Veterinary medicine Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only) : Highly pathogenic (HP) avian influenza (AI) (HPAI) is an extremely contagious, multi-organ systemic disease of poultry leading to high mortality, and caused by some H5 and H7 subtypes of type A influenza virus, family Orthomyxoviridae. However, most AI virus strains are mildly pathogenic (MP) and produce either subclinical infections or respiratory and/or reproductive diseases in a variety of domestic and wild bird species. Highly pathogenic avian influenza...
Infectious Animal Diseases: The Wildlife/Livestock Interface [Review] Show Full Record 540
Source: Revue Scientifique et Technique 2002 Apr;21(1):53-65. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Domestic animals Emerging infectious diseases Infectious diseases Veterinary medicine Wildlife Wildlife/livestock interface Abstract: From abstract: The long-standing conflict between livestock owners and animal health authorities on the one hand, and wildlife conservationists on the other, is largely based on differing attitudes to controlling diseases of livestock which are associated with wildlife. The authors have attempted to highlight the fact that these disease problems are frequently bi-directional at the wildlife/livestock interface. The different categories of diseases involved are presented. A new dimension being fa...
Infectious Diseases of Wildlife: Detection, Diagnosis and Management Show Full Record 1172
