Island of Riems, August 28th, 2024: How do climate change and urbanization or the health and management of wildlife affect our health? How can we work at the wildlife-livestok-human interface in the sense of One Health to create healthy ecosystems overall? These and other questions are on the agenda of the 15th European Conference on Wildlife Diseases from September 9th to 13th, 2024 in Stralsund and Greifswald - Insel Riems.
