Wildpro Electronic Encyclopaedia

The Wildpro Electronic Encyclopaedia is designed as a one-stop source of information on the health and management of captive and free-living wild animals, and emerging infectious diseases. Because of the huge breadth of the encyclopaedia, and the depth of the information contained within it, Wildpro is being developed in a series of volumes, each of which can be used separately (provided on CD-ROM) or as a part of the whole encyclopaedia (available on the website).

Individual Wildpro volumes are based on a species or group of species (e.g. Hedgehogs: Health and Management, Waterfowl: Health and Management), a disease (e.g. Foot-and-Mouth Disease, West Nile Virus), or a group of techniques (e.g. Wildlife: First Aid and Care, Wildlife: Disease Investigation and Management (Birds)).

All data within the Wildpro Encyclopaedia is fully referenced, and volumes and pages are refereed by experts within the relevant fields. Hyperlinks are used to indicate where further information may be found and wherever two pieces of information are logically associated with one another. A large Glossary provides definitions of specialist vocabulary. A taxonomic tree provides information on the whole of living Kingdoms, to various levels of detail: for mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, at least to a list of genera in a given family.
