Role of wildlife in exotic diseases

Foreign Animal Diseases

Abstract

This therefore is to urge that domestic livestock and wildlife managment interests resolve petty differences, strive for better understanding, and combine forces for the ultimate good of our national welfare. Whether specific concern is manifest for cattle, swine, sheep, poultry, horses, dogs, cats, or wildlife, a better spirit of cooperation must be forthcoming. Regardless of species involved, animal health in the United States should relate to a broad and encompassing concept that warrants equal concern by all individuals, organizations, institutions, or agencies directly or indirectly affected.
