Mission Statement
The American Association of Veterinary Immunologists (AAVI) is dedicated to the development, promotion, and dissemination of knowledge in veterinary immunology. This includes immunology of livestock and poultry, companion animals, fish and marine mammals. The AAVI was formed in 1979 by a group of veterinary immunologists assembled at the annual Conference of Research Workers in Animal Diseases (CRWAD). The AAVI is open to all veterinary immunologists internationally The AAVI holds an annual business and scientific meeting in conjunction with CRWAD each year as well as an annual symposium in conjunction with the American Association of Immunologists (AAI). The AAVI website outlines many of its activities.

Our 2013 newsletter just posted. See it here or go to our newsletter link to get access to previous newsletters as well.

Our AAVI/AAI-VIC Joint Symposium symposium at the annual AAI meeting is next week. We hope many of you are able to make it to beautiful Hawaii.

It was an excellent group of talks last year at the AAVI/AAI-VIC Joint Symposium at Immunology 2012 May 7, 2012. The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) has been a strong supporter of AAVI and has provided financial support for the distinguished Veterinary Immunologist Award and the AAVI/AAI graduate student awards at the Conference for Research Workers in Animal Disease (CRWAD) Meeting. We appreciate their contributions and continued collaboration. AAVI members are encouraged to consider membership to our fellow organization, AAI.
