Within the ecological system, it is important to diagnose and treat wild animals, especially endangered or threatened species, when they suffer trauma, disease, etc., and to rehabilitate them so that they can return to the wild. The aim is to conduct national and international research on topics such as the detection of infectious diseases in wild animals, their spread, treatment options, and the application of different methods in the treatment of surgical diseases. It is important to develop surveillance systems for wild animal diseases, implement early diagnosis, reporting and disease management, in order to monitor and eliminate the risk of pathogens causing zoonotic diseases spreading to humans and domestic animals. To strengthen global biosecurity, research is planned on the diagnosis of wildlife diseases using conventional and molecular methods, determining treatment approaches, determining the sensitivity of antibiotics used in treatment, and detecting resistance to these antibiotics. Additionally, studies are planned on the development of new vaccines to combat zoonotic diseases.
