This book started out as a long-overdue second edition of the classic 1971 text, Infectious and Parasitic Diseases of Wild Birds, but it grew so large that the parasitic diseases portion had to be dropped, hopefully to be picked up at a later date in a separate volume. This new book ably serves as a companion text to the other recently updated editions of Infectious Diseases of Wild Mammals (3rd edition) and Parasitic Diseases of Wild Mammals (2nd edition), both published in 2001 and both previously reviewed on VIN.
The book is divided into three main sections: viral diseases (including Newcastle disease, duck plague, avian influenza, and pox), bacterial and fungal diseases (including avian cholera, salmonellosis, avian tuberculosis, chlamydiosis, and aspergillosis), and biotoxins (including botulism, mycotoxins, and algal toxicosis). Many of the individual chapters are updates from the original book, but several diseases (such as circovirus, papillomavirus, and polyomavirus) not covered in the first book are included here.
The book benefits greatly from having every chapter follow the same general outline: disease history, distribution, host range, etiology, epizootiology, clinical signs, pathogenesis, pathology, diagnosis, public health concerns, domestic animal health concerns, management implications, control, and treatment. Treatment is not emphasized.
Most chapters make fine use of tables, especially of species lists most commonly affected by that particular disease.
I strongly recommend this much-anticipated text to any veterinarian, biologist, ecologist, or zoologist who works with birds (especially the wild species). This book would also find a good home in the library of any nature or wildlife center.

Infectious Diseases of Wild Birds
Edited by: Nancy J. Thomas (US Geological Survey), D. Bruce Hunter and Carter T. Atkinson
Description
Free-living birds encounter multiple health hazards brought on by viruses, bacteria, and fungi, some which in turn can significantly impact other animal populations and human health. Newly emerging diseases and new zoonotic forms of older diseases have brought increased global attention to the health of wild bird populations. Recognition and management of these diseases is a high priority for all those involved with wildlife.
Infectious Diseases of Wild Birds provides biologists, wildlife managers, wildlife and veterinary health professionals and students with the most comprehensive reference on infectious viral, bacterial and fungal diseases affecting wild birds. Bringing together contributions from an international team of experts, the book offers the most complete information on these diseases, their history, causative agents, significance and population impact. Focusing on more than just treatment, special emphasis is given to disease processes, recognition and epidemiology.
