THE WILDLIFE DISEASE ASSOCIATION

The WDA is an international, non-profit organisation dedicated to wildlife conservation through sharing the study and understanding of diseases in wildlife. The WDA 'parent body' is based in North America and there are a number of regional & interest based sections. Currently WDA has six geographic-based sections, Australasian (WDA-A), European (EWDA), Latin American (WDA-LA), African Middle East (WDA-AME), Asia-Pacific (WDA-AP), and Nordic (NWDA), and one interest based section, Wildlife Veterinary Section (WVS).

THE WDA AUSTRALASIAN SECTION (WDA-A)

The Australasian Section, established in 1973, was the first geographic WDA section. The mission of the WDA-A is to acquire, disseminate and apply knowledge of the diseases of wild animals in relation to their biology, ecology, and conservation.
