Wildlife Information Network

Wildlife Information Network (WIN) is a veterinary science-based Charity whose mission is to provide information on the health and management of free-ranging and captive animals and emerging infectious diseases to wildlife professionals and decision-makers worldwide.

To this end, we have created...

Wildpro® Multimedia

The Electronic Encyclopaedia and Library of wildlife, wildlife habitats,
and emerging infectious diseases.

Wildpro CD-ROMs Available

Elephants: Diseases & Treatment

The module focuses on elephant diseases and their treatment, together with natural history information and a drug formulary. It is complemented by an extensive library including the 1910 publication "Elephants and their Diseases" by G.H. Evans. (Find out more...)

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.

Cranes: Health and Management

This volume will contain information on the natural history, conservation status, diseases, treatment and captive management of all fifteen species of cranes.
 

Snow Leopards: Health and Management

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.

Avian Influenza

Another emerging infectious disease, very much in the news at the moment. Wildpro is the ideal format for bringing together all known information on a topic such as this.
 

Camels: Health and Management

This volume will contain information on the natural history, conservation status, diseases, treatment and captive management of dromedaries and Bactrian camels.
 

Veterinary Basics & Essentials

This Wildpro module will provide background information on the basic and essential veterinary techniques, with specific consideration of constraints due to animal size, taxa and field conditions in a portable readily-accessible form for Community Animal Health Workers, Small-Holders, Farmers, Veterinarians and all those Decision-Makers responsible for animals, whether wild or domestic. 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.
