Abstract
Captive raptors are frequently exposed to many infectious diseases, especially from their food sources. Protecting husbandry conditions with particular attention to biosecurity and food preparation will significantly reduce the chance of infections in captive birds. This chapter examines viral disease, bacterial disease, fungal disease and control of infectious disease in captive raptors.

Raptorpox. (a) Early lesions on the feet of a falcon. (b) Severe lesions have constricted the blood supply to the distal phalanges, resulting in avascular necrosis. (c) Chronic lesions causing severe damage to the beak and cere. The falcon was unable to tear at its food normally.
