Wildlife control is an extremely rewarding career.  Operators however are at heightened risk for diseases carried by the animals they handle.  So it is important for wildlife professionals to understand the risks and protect themselves against zoonotic illness. This engaging talk will discuss the wide and wild world of zoonotic disease, their danger, and their impact on the world.  The guest speaker is veterinarian and wildlife biologist Dr. Jay Tischendorf.  Dr. Jay serves as NWCOA's scientific advisor and is an expert on the subject.  Zoonotic diseases aren't going away anytime soon.  In fact, they are on the rise.  As the Boy Scouts say, "Be prepared".
