About the Electronic Library

The Wildpro Electronic Library contains more than 100 documents ranging in size from single page factsheets or pamphlets to whole books such as the classic 1910 text "Elephants and Their Diseases" (G.H. Evans), the "Field Manual of Wildlife Diseases" (National Wildlife Health Center, USGS) and the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust's "Wetlands, Wildlife and Industry: a manual of principles and practice." Some are provided in Portable Document Format (.pdf files), others as HTML files (some are presented in both formats).

This library is a huge resource for anyone with an interest in wildlife health and management or emerging infectious diseases. It brings together a wealth of information from a wide variety of sources. The documents are directly linked from the main Wildpro Encyclopaedia where relevant.

Many of these documents are hard to find. While some are available elsewhere on the Web, others are not available in an electronic format except in this Library, and some are also out of print. By granting permission for us to reproduce them in the Wildpro Library, the copyright holders have increased the accessibility of these documents.

Each document has been made available within the Wildpro Library by kind permission of the copyright holder, in which case copyright remains with the originator, or is in the public domain.

Some of these documents are available in the Public Access section of this website, others are accessible only to subscribers, in the main Wildpro Encyclopaedia.
