Objective:
Support for a national meeting entitled "Diseases at the Interface Between Domestic Livestock and Wildlife Species," July 17 and 18, 2003, held by the Institute for International Cooperation in Animal Biologics (IICAB), at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. The transmission of diseases between domestic animals and wildlife species is concern for both those involved in agricultural production and those involved in wildlife conservation. The purpose of this meeting is to promote the exchange of information and foster discussion regarding wildlife-livestock disease interaction.

Abstracts of meeting presentations will be available in the conference proceedings and on the NADC website. This will enable scientist, producers, diagnosticians, wildlife managers and government official to access the information presented. Representatives from the veterinary biologics industry, producer groups, government agencies and veterinary colleges are expected to attend the meeting. The organizing committee is anticipating 150 to 200 attendees.
