Inspired by the Wall of Dead. There is need of such course in the university, I believe. https://strangebehaviors.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/the-wall-of-the-dead/

Well. I guess such guidance would depend on the nature of potential hazards to be encountered. Surveying a botanical plot and live-trapping small rodents entail two very different levels of risk. Unless one is going to do a zoonotic pathogen work, which requires specific training, students will be fine following general safety guidelines that should be in place at any university.
Vector-borne disease-wise speaking, on the other hand, it is always a good idea to wear appropriate clothes, use repellents, do frequent tick checks, etc. when you are entering a natural area. Hope this helps.
Best,

Thanks Serge. I am looking for a book because I believe somebody already done it, with all topics covered - from planning expedition and research of sources what to expect in specific area, to vaccination and suggested lab tests upon end of field work. Anyway, you input is valuable.
PS "general safety guidelines that should be in place at any university" - that's not very developed, at least in our university.
