Abstract

A necropsy examination is one of our most important and, in some settings, our only opportunity to collect valuable diagnostic and archival samples from a wild animal. This chapter provides a practical approach to necropsy examination of vertebrate and invertebrate species, which includes sample collection for histology and ancillary diagnostic testing, and sample and data management and sharing.
