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.
