Dr. Friend added. Daily clean-up of infected carcasses and their proper disposal is essential for preventing a rapid build-up of botulism and other diseases, « reports John Ellis, A FWS biologist in Minneapolis. Waterfowl die-offs « should be reported to the nearest office of the Fish and Wildlife Service or State Conservation Department as soon as they are observed, Ellis suggests. Wildlife disease specialists at the Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Fish and Wildlife Health Laboratory are available to provide identification and control of these disease problems through the FWS regional office in Minneapolis. 9/7/76 -FWS- 5t :i ' "4 -T.. hi 1 ; r, -• i H I ' -•V I ! •; • >1 * ■ •r «* ^PDuck 5noh< Assoeiah ' The d« ducks on .Uiis sum ^ botulism, 'humans.
