Wildpro Volumes under Peer Review
All Wildpro volumes are peer reviewed, and at this stage may be considered "beta versions." They are largely complete and copies have been sent out to wildlife professionals worldwide who specialise in the volume's topic for comment and review. When the review process is completed, changes will be incorporated as applicable, and the volume published.
- Raccoons and Rabies: Biology and Behaviour
- This volume provides information about the biology and behaviour of raccoons, the raccoon rabies variant, and how raccoon biology and behaviour affects raccoon rabies transmission.
Wildpro Volumes in Preparation
Volumes in preparation are currently being researched.

Proposed Wildpro Volumes
Proposed volumes vary from volumes we have been approached to do but have not yet begun work on, through volumes planned but as yet unfunded, or not fully funded, to those we feel needful, or would simply rather quite like to produce.
Funding, support and collaboration are actively sought for proposed volumes. Please contact us if you can offer any of these.

It will improve the care of domestic and wild animals worldwide, particularly in developing countries, by providing the farming and veterinary community with a one-stop high quality up-to-date information resource.
