Abstract:
The author summarises the other articles contained in Vol. 15 (1), March 1996, of the Scientific and Technical Review of the Office International des Epizooties. Articles cover the following subjects: care and management of reptiles, amphibians, birds, ratites, carnivores, suids, camelids and cervids; and the health consequences of keeping these species in captivity. Housing, feeding and management are often less than perfect, and the special requirements of particular animals may not be understood. Constant vigilance is necessary to avert diseases. There is scope for for further research on the diseases of specific animals, and on the validity in wildlife of diagnostic tests developed for domestic animals.
