C.L. DAVIS DVM FOUNDATION

FELLOWSHIPS IN ZOO AND WILDLIFE PATHOLOGY

The Zoo and Wildlife Pathology Fellowships will be offered internationally to meet the need for more veterinary pathologists with expertise in zoo and wildlife species. The emphasis of these fellowships is the recognition and understanding of wild animal diseases and their impact on wildlife and environmental conservation. Fellows will be graduate veterinarians supervised by a zoo or wildlife pathologist. The Zoo and Wildlife Pathology Fellows will be instructed in a multidisciplinary approach to zoo and wildlife disease diagnosis. Diagnostic investigations will include special postmortem techniques, histopathology, virology, bacterology, toxicology, electron microscopy and epidmiology. Results of these investigations will be directly applicable to improving the quality of life and longevity of rare and endangered animals.
