“…Significant involvement of veterinarians in wildlife and ecosystem health has occurred relatively recently within the history of the profession. In industrialized countries, veterinarians began to be employed to care for zoo animals in the nineteenth century (Fowler 2006), and wildlife species serving as reservoirs of infectious agricultural diseases attracted the attention of veterinarians during disease control campaigns throughout the twentieth century (e.g., foot-and-mouth disease in Cape buffalo in South Africa). Until fairly recently, however, work with zoo animals and wildlife reservoirs was motivated more by entertainment and disease eradication goals than a concern for wildlife or ecosystem health.…”

The renewed interest in the concept of One Health has occurred as a result of the increased emergence of zoonotic infectious diseases over the past decade. The subsequent impacts of these diseases on human, livestock, and wildlife health, as well as the economic effects, have given international health organizations and national governments a greater appreciation of the importance of collaborative efforts in solving health problems. The One Health concept is not new, but under its umbrella, a new generation of veterinarians, physicians, ecologists, biologists, and social scientists is shaping the concept in novel ways. This has led to increased support for One Health initiatives to control disease by international agencies, national governments, and nongovernmental organizations as well as a growing emphasis on One Health concepts in training the veterinary workforce. Veterinary schools are reorganizing veterinary education to better teach students the precepts of One Health. This chapter explores the evolution and application of the One Health concept from the perspective of the veterinarian. The veterinary profession is positioned to be a strong advocate and leader of One Health. Veterinarians have a long history of involvement with One Health activities, and this involvement has adjusted and shifted with the changing needs of society. A new area of work for veterinarians is ecosystem health, which is becoming more relevant as a result of the impact that the ever-increasing human population is having on the environment that supports them.

“…Numerous student zoo, wildlife, and exotic animal medicine organisations have rapidly proliferated across the globe (for a list of student clubs visit the Student Center section of the AAZV website [www.aazv.org]). Fowler (9) provides an excellent review of the history of zoo and wildlife medicine.…”

The current veterinary curriculum leaves graduates ill-equipped for careers in the field of zoological and wildlife medicine. Further postgraduate training is required to be an effective zoo or wildlife veterinarian. However, whether or not students choose to specialise in this field at a later date, the veterinary curriculum should cover several issues that are related to wildlife and zoo animals, including conservation biology, zoology, behaviour, physiology and conservation medicine. These subjects are essential, as we are preparing students to work in a world in which there is a global trade in wild animals, an increasing number of emerging infectious diseases and numerous environmental threats (habitat fragmentation, climate change) linked to anthropogenic change. Veterinary students should also be exposed to new opportunities to identify field and laboratory tools for the management and possible treatment of diseases in captive and wild populations and ecosystems using both in situ and ex situ approaches to conservation.

“…O falo nas aves é análogo ao pênis dos mamíferos, mas não homólogo, e que se expõe com certa freqüência (FOWLER, 1991). No falo das aves não há uretra, sendo que este não possui função urinária como o pênis dos mamíferos (SICK, 1985).…”

“…Segundo alguns estudos, o falo de algumas aves é considerado pequeno, como por exemplo em galos (WAITES, 1970) e alguns pássaros (MCCRAMCKEN, 2000). Porém na ema o acasalamento é realizado através de penetração (WAITES, 1970;FOWLER, 1991).…”

“…A porção flácida do falo é constituída por um tubo que se insere na base da porção rígida. Fowler (1991) descreveu que as ratitas possuem dois diferentes tipos de falo. Nas emas e nos emús especificamente, assim como observado neste trabalho, um falo intromitente com uma cavidade e uma estrutura em forma de luva parcialmente invertida, é observado.…”
