Manual of Common Diseases and
Parasites of Wildlife in Northern British Columbia
Second Edition |

| General Information |

| Audience: |
-
This
manual was designed to be used by persons in northern
British Columbia who encounter anomalies in wildlife. We
hope it is particularly useful for groups that use wild
animals as a food source, such as First Nations people or
hunters, and for trappers and wildlife professionals that are in direct contact with
wildlife. It is anticipated that this resource will provide
information on specific wildlife health issues, and heighten
awareness of wildlife diseases in general.

| How To Use This Manual: |
-
Information on specific
diseases can be accessed in several ways: users may choose
to view information about a particular disease from a list
sorted according to the
region of the body affected, or they may access information on specific diseases
from a list sorted according the
agent or factor responsible for the disease.
-
In each disease summary, many terms are linked to
a
Glossary; clicking on the term will
open a new window where the definition of the word is
displayed. Links are also provided in most disease summaries
to other web sites with further information about the
disease. Pages are also provided with a list of wildlife or
human health agency
contacts. Finally, a form is
available to provide appropriate information to wildlife
health agencies should you submit carcasses or other samples
for
testing.
