Sommario/riassunto

This state-of-the-art contribution to the field of raptor medicine and biology is an essential resource to all those associated with the care and conservation of raptors. Falconers and managers of captive birds will gain useful information that will promote the understanding and practice of preventive medicine, and field biologists, veterinarians, and rehabilitators will acquire new perspectives on disease and environmental factors that determine the survival of casualty birds and influence of population dynamics of wild raptors.
