Wildlife Disease Association

The Wildlife Disease Association (WDA) is a global organization dedicated to studying and managing diseases that affect wild animals and their environments. It brings together scientists, veterinarians, and conservationists to better understand how diseases spread among wildlife, how they impact ecosystems, and what can be done to protect animals and humans. By sharing research and promoting best practices, the WDA helps maintain healthy wildlife populations, supports conservation efforts, and reduces the risks of diseases crossing to humans or livestock. Ultimately, it plays a vital role in safeguarding biodiversity and public health.
