It is vital to correctlly diagnose and treat wild animals, especially endangered or threatened species, when they suffer from trauma, disease, etc., and to ensure their effective rehabilitation for their return to nature. Our aim is to carry out national and international research focusing on topics including the identification, transmission, and treatment options for infectious diseases found in wild animals, along with exploring diverse methods for treating surgical diseases.] Developing surveillance systems for wildlife diseases, early diagnosis, notification, and disease management are crucial for monitoring and mitigating the risk of transmitting pathogens, particularly those leading to zoonotic diseases, to humans and domestic animals. To strengthen global biosecurity, the following investigations are planned to be executed: identification of wildlife diseases employing both conventional and molecular techniques, devising treatment strategies, conducting research on determining the sensitivity of antibiotics commonly used in treatment and characterising instances of resistance developing against these antibiotics, and engaging in research to formulate new vaccines targeting zoonotic diseases.]
