It is very important to monitor infectious diseases of mo animals and wildlife to prevent additional losses of animals, which contribute a lot to wildlife management and conservation, domestic animal hygiene and prevention of zoonosis. Thus, we would like to have a workshop " Infectious diseases 2002 in zoo animals and wildlife" to share up to date information for disease control. As infections to be in an emergency or warned, the following infections were focused ; chlamydiosis in zoo birds and moos, yersiniosis in nonhuman primates, cryptosporidiosis in reptiles and spongiform encephalopathy in zoo animals and wildlife. Besides, several possible infections to invade into Japan or of great concern to breakout are discussed. It would be desirable to settle a network for infectious diseases of zoo animals and wildlife to prevent animal loss and zoonosis.
