11th Symposium of the Belgian Wildlife Disease Society
A one-day meeting on wildlife diseases in the broadest sense, from wildlife trade and emerging viruses to vectors and conservation. Keynotes, pitches and posters at the Royal Museum for Central Africa.
Registration closed on 30 September 2026.
Wildlife, livestock and human health are one connected system. One World, One Wildlife Health brings together researchers, vets, ecologists and students around the diseases that move through that system, and the work to understand and contain them.
This edition spans four sessions: wildlife trade, old and new viruses on the move, living with vectors, and conservation projects in the field. It is hosted at the Royal Museum for Central Africa, a fitting setting for a day that reaches from Belgian landscapes to Central African wildlife.
Registration closed on 30 September 2026. Already registered? Then we'll see you in Tervuren. Questions? Contact info@bwds.be.
The AfricaMuseum in Tervuren holds one of the world's largest collections on Central African nature and culture, a research institution as much as a museum. It sets the stage for a day that runs from Flemish field projects to African wildlife.
