Dr. Joshua Dein, Project Leader for the NBII Wildlife Disease Information Node (WDIN), attended the TDWG Annual Conference in Montpellier, France, November 9-13, 2009. Dr. Dein worked with the NBII Program Office to develop presentation and discussion sessions to explore the potential overlap between biodiversity and health informatics and how they can be used to ensure that environmental and species data can be easily integrated into emerging disease surveillance systems.
