BACTERIAL DISEASES

• Wild life diseases are given more priority in the recent days due to the fact that conservation of any wild fauna can not be achieved fully, unless due efforts are equally given pertaining to the assessment of health status and the disease management, in the concerned wild animal species.
• Bacterial diseases are in plenty in case of wild animals esp. the captive wild animals and they pose problems in the diagnosis as well as the treatment.
• Hence, one should have a thorough understanding of various bacterial disease conditions that affect commonly the wild animals belonging to multiple taxonomic classes or groups.
