The fourth edi­tion of the Trans­mis­si­ble Dis­eases Hand­book, com­piled by the Infec­tious Dis­eases Work­ing Group (IDWG) was pub­lished in Feb­ru­ary 2010

by the Euro­pean Asso­ci­a­tion of Zoo and Wildlife Vet­eri­nar­i­ans (EAZWV). The hand­book has been dis­trib­uted as CD-​rom by EAZA to all its mem­bers and rel­e­vant stake­hold­ers. Now the hand­book is also avail­able online. It shows the organisation’s aware­ness and respon­si­bil­ity regard­ing infec­tious dis­eases and their pos­si­ble impact on ani­mal con­ser­va­tion and the com­mu­nity at large.
