Scenes from the Brucellosis Workshop January 2013, Ethiopia |
<Day 1: The workshop is off to a good start, opened by AU-IBAR, ILRI, USAID and USDA, and with good presentations on brucellosis, diagnosis and surveillance, risk assessment, epidemiology and economics. We should see a very good report from this workshop, and I hope this will help to focus on the need to control this disease in livestock in order to eliminate the threat to human health," Eileen Herrera, Deputy Director, ARS International. |
Day 2: Excellent presentations by Drs. Eric Fevre and William de Glanville on research in western Kenya. Dr. Tujuba Jergefa Oncho, Addis Ababa University, spoke on bovine brucellosis in Ethiopia; and Dr. William Mwebembezi, Mbarar Regional Veterinary Lab spoke on antibody prevalence in breeding goats.
