With expert contributors from around the world sharing their knowledge on 57 new cutting-edge areas of interest, Zoo and Wild Animal Medicine, Volume 6 continues to provide outstanding coverage of today’s most relevant topics. This book is an essential resource in zoo and wild animal medicine, addressing the special challenges posed by individual and herd medical management, newly emerging diseases in diverse wild animal populations, the effect of habitat loss and destruction on wildlife species, and the utilization of zoo animals in the surveillance and detection of potential zoonoses. The user-friendly current therapy approach continues to serve a vital function in the field by fostering a conservation biology ethic, bridging the gap between captive and free-ranging wild animal medicine, from a diverse group of experts.

"The editorial team of Fowler and Miller is synonymous with the most up-to-date and relevant information in the field of zoological medicine. (...) Both editors are from the US, bus they have amassed an international assortment of chapter authors. This gives a truly worldwide view to zoological medicine, drawing on global expertise and highlighting cutting-edge techniques. There is a strong UK representation, as well as the Far and Middle East, Canada, mainland Europe and Australia. (...) Drs Fowler and Miller have once again produced a high-quality text that is a must for all veterinary surgeons working with non-domestic species in either conservation or zoological collection management capacities. - Lesa Longley, The Veterinary Times, September 2009
