Australian Wildlife Health Network Makes Use of the NBII's Wildlife Disease Information Node (WDIN)

Each week the Australian Wildlife Health Network (AWHN) distributes the AWHN Digest (via e-mail), which contains a summary of wildlife disease related news occurring both in Australia and internationally. Similarly, WDIN also publishes a wildlife disease news summary. Through its blog, the Wildlife Disease News Digest, WDIN staff provide almost daily reports of wildlife disease related issues and events that are making national and international news. The AWHN Digest has designated a section within its publication to highlight and reuse news items from the WDIN Digest. Both organizations recognize the potential for collaboration opportunities and are exploring the possibilities.
