The book focuses on the ecology of the most important infectious diseases of wild avian hosts, especially those with high morbidity and mortality rates. Disease ecology is an important scientific approach to study the relationships and interactions between living organisms, their environment, and potential pathogens. Birds have high diversity, and the very special ability to fly and migrate. They... Read more

Biography

Sasan Fereidouni (DVM, PhD, Habil.) is affiliated with Research Institute of Wildlife Ecology, University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna. The major part of his scientific career has been based on identification and monitoring of wild bird diseases and infections, especially those that may affect the populations and, in many cases, have the potential to transmit to mammalian species including humans. Wildlife conservation using a One-Health approach is his main challenge to change the perception of the importance of nature conservation and its direct effect on emerging infections and to stop anthropogenic disturbances of wildlife and their habitats.
