In Marine Mammal Health and Disease, distinguished veterinarian researcher Dr. Julia Zaias delivers an up-to-date and practical discussion of how to assess health and disease in marine mammals. The author offers a foundational, high-level understanding of normal/baseline conditions, how this baselines is altered by infectious agents, environment, or the host itself, and how to diagnose these changes and diseases.
The book’s chapters are logically organized by health assessment and management, environmental influences on health, the basis of marine mammal health, disease, and animal welfare. It covers cetaceans, sirenia, pinnipeds, and other marine carnivores, as well as the pathology of cells and tissues, the mechanisms of disease, inflammation, and etiologic disease factors.
