Wildlife Conservation Physiology and Disease workshop
SANParks Veterinary Wildlife Services hosted a Wildlife Conservation Physiology and Disease Workshop, providing an opportunity for research groups to collaborate and for postgraduate students and early career researchers to learn from experts in their field
SANParks’ Veterinary Wildlife Services hosted a Wildlife Conservation Physiology and Disease Workshop in partnership with the Brain Function Research Group from the University of the Witwatersrand, funded by Aarhus University, Denmark. The workshop, from 13-17 March 2023, was attended by 26 delegates from both local and international locations.
During the workshop, delegates had the opportunity to present their research and ideas on topics such as veterinary anaesthesia, disease surveillance, species monitoring and wildlife conservation physiology. In addition to presentations, a practical elephant darting exercise was conducted for tuberculosis monitoring and physiological variables were collected for analysis. The workshop provided an excellent opportunity for different research groups to collaborate and also served as a platform for postgraduate students and early career researchers to learn from experts in their field.
