Abstract
The author summarises the other articles contained in Vol. 15 (1), Mar ch 1996, of the Scientific and Technical Review of the Office Internat ional des Epizooties. Articles cover the following subjects: care and management of reptiles, amphibians, birds, ratites, carnivores, suids, camelids and cervids; and the health consequences of keeping these sp ecies in captivity. Housing, feeding and management are often less tha n perfect, and the special requirements of particular animals may not be understood. Constant vigilance is necessary to avert diseases. Ther e is scope for further research on the diseases of specific animals, a nd on the validity in wildlife of diagnostic tests developed for domes tic animals.
