| | Translocation Bibliography; All - 1989-early96 |
 | | This translocation was to assist in recovery of the endangered Selkirk population. |
 | | On average, 26% of translocations released captive-reared animals, 29% of releases were to areas on the periphery or outside of historic species ranges, only 32% were soft releases that provided opportunity for postrelease monitoring, and, in 24% of translocations, there was no professional examination of animals for parasites, disease, or injury prior to release. |
 | | Translocated wild animals also succumb to endemic disease: heartwater in the Transvaal bushveld prevents the translocation of springbok into this area because this species is susceptible to this disease, and babesiosis has been reported in naive sable antelope (Hippotragus niger) imported into the RSA from Europe. |
