Review of diseases (pathogen isolation, direct recovery and antibodies) in albatrosses and large petrels worldwide
Albatrosses (Diomedeidae) and large petrels (Macronectes and Procellaria spp.) are among the world's most rapidly declining birds. Some of the most endangered species, Amsterdam Albatross Diomedea amsterdamensis, Indian Yellow-nosed Albatross Thalassarche carteri and Sooty Albatross Phoebetria...
