Congratulations to our new WDA/IAAAM award winner
Each year the Wildlife Disease Association (WDA) and the International Association for Aquatic Animal Medicine (IAAAM) jointly provide an award for the best student-authored aquatic animal paper in the previous year’s Journal of Wildlife Diseases (JWD).
The newest recipient of this accolade is Brett Gardner. His winning paper "Surveillance for Toxoplasma gondii, Brucella spp., and Chlamydia spp. in Australian Fur Seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) Abortions" was published in JWD's October 2024 issue, 60(4).
Brett received a BVSc from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, in 2006. He has been working as a zoo and wildlife veterinarian, predominantly in Africa, and currently in Australia, ever since. He completed a PhD at the University of Melbourne, Australia, in 2024, and is now based jointly between the One Health Research Group at the University of Melbourne and Zoos Victoria, at the Werribee Open Range Zoo.
His biggest veterinary interests are field anesthesia and disease ecology in marine mammals.
Thank you to all who made the
Endowment of the Journal of Wildlife Diseases and its
worldwide distribution possible.
The $3 million goal of the Dave Jessup, JWD Endowment Fund has been met. This milestone was reached with assistance from a strong US stock market and the right investments, but none of that would have mattered without the generous donations from our members and some non-members who embraced our mission “to acquire, disseminate and apply knowledge of the health and diseases of wild animals…” and made this goal a reality.
The WDA thanks those individuals, businesses, and organizations for their cumulative gifts totaling:
$10,000 and above
