University of Pretoria Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases

In the domain of Tropical Animal Health, the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases (DVTD) is well positioned to play a leading role, especially in research and the training of postgraduate students of the region and further afield.

To achieve the goal of developing the Department as a regional postgraduate centre, it is in the process of establishing links and agreements with several national and international training and research institutions to complement its resources.
