内容説明

This book deals with the scientific basis for animal conservation and in particular with studies on reproduction and disease both in captive and wild animals. It illuminates not only animal conservation but also physiology and medicine in man and agricultural animals. The various topics include the effects of social subordination, environmental pollution and hormonal control on fertility; embryo transfer; the use of ultrasound and enzyme immunoassays in the study of reproduction and disease; and bacterial and viral infections that affect both free-living and captive populations of wild mammals and birds. The book marks the 50th anniversary of the Wellcome Trust.
