Request a sales quoteDiseases and Pathology of Mammals is a practical resource of the most recent advances and best practices in marine mammal postmortem investigations. It’s organized in two sections, one discusses operational and technical logistics, and the other describes different pathological conditions to assist in both research and field work useful in different scenarios. The information in this book supports researchers to collect information, data, and samples in the proper way to be used in investigating cause of death, in gaining information on anthropic related causes, in collecting data for advances in pathology and diseases and, finally, elaborating information in the context of forensic and conservation medicine. These can help the elaboration of reports, papers and policies documents related to marine mammals. This is an essential resource to anyone in the field as well as students studying marine biology and/or veterinary science.
