Abstract
With a growing international focus on emerging diseases that might impact on human health there is a recognition that we need to gain more understanding of the ecology of diseases such as avian influenza, paramyxoviruses and viral vector borne diseases (e.g. Ross River Virus, West Nile Virus). Many zoonotic diseases have a wildlife reservoir with several significant diseases occurring in a range of avian species. New Zealand has a unique avifauna and, to date, the information we have on the diseases of, and the disease risks to or from, these species is limited This presentation will outline some of the projects currently underway in New Zealand with specific reference to test development and surveillance initiatives for wildlife diseases.
