Sk. Mikota et Rf. Aguilar, MANAGEMENT PROTOCOLS FOR ANIMALS IN CAPTIVE PROPAGATION AND REINTRODUCTION PROGRAMS, Revue scientifique et technique - Office international des epizooties, 15(1), 1996, pp. 191-208
Species Survival Plans in North America - and comparable programmes in
other parts of the world - address the management issues related to m
aintaining populations of endangered species in captivity. The need ha
s been recognized for universal methods of assessing, evaluating, moni
toring and preventing the transmission of disease to naive wildlife by
reintroduced species. Standardized protocols are presented for evalua
tion of the health status of captive animals intended for release.
