This workshop will provide an introduction to disease risk analysis for translocations using examples from conservation translocations conforming to IUCN Guidelines. No prior knowledge of disease risk analysis is required. We will tackle real translocation scenarios to gain an understanding of the method, possible pitfalls and how these can be addressed. The tutors have experience of undertaking over 20 detailed disease risk analyses for translocations compliant with IUCN guidelines for invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
