This book is a comprehensive presentation of health and diseases in
reindeer and caribou, or just Rangifer, a key Circumarctic species
with broad social and ecological value. It is an essential
reference for anyone interested in the biology and health of wild
or semi-domesticated reindeer and caribou, and is more broadly
relevant for those with interests in other species of free-ranging
and captive cervids. Beginning with a general introduction to
Rangifer as a species, it then focuses on Rangifer "health" as a
concept and describes the determinants of health at an individual
and population level. Chapters cover a range of topics from
nutrition and feeding to stress, non-infectious and infectious
diseases, meat hygiene, capture and restraint, diagnosis and
treatment of health issues, and finally, potential impacts of
climate change on health of Rangifer. Reindeer and Caribou: Health
and Disease compiles extensive research and experience-based
information on issues ranging from drug doses for chemical
immobilization, blood chemistry values, and raising an orphaned
calf. In addition, it contains hundreds of high quality colour
illustrations that contribute to its value as a diagnostic resource
for recognizing various parasites, pathogens and signs of disease,
both in live and dead animals. Each chapter is followed by a
comprehensive list of references and a list of contact information
for all the contributors, identifying world experts in the
different areas of health for this circumpolar and fascinating
species. This book is compulsory reading and an indispensable
resource for anyone dealing with health in reindeer and caribou,
including veterinarians, wildlife biologists and managers, reindeer
herders/game ranchers, zoological husbandry personnel, and students
with wildlife health.
