Thank you for considering submitting an abstract for presentation of your work at the 2017 AAVLD Annual Meeting.  According to the recent member survey, the quality of presentations in the Scientific Oral and Poster Sessions is the single most important reason for attending the AAVLD Annual Meeting.

Submit your abstracts EARLY! 

Publication in the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation (JVDI), the official journal of the AAVLD: We encourage submission of manuscripts to the JVDI based on your oral and poster presentations at the annual meeting.  Manuscripts accepted by the JVDI editor after scientific peer-review will be published as refereed journal articles.  Guidelines for format and style of manuscripts are published in the journal and on the AAVLD website (www.aavld.org). Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts to the editor for processing prior to the meeting if possible.
