National Hog Farmer is pleased to announce an episode of the University of Minnesota iCOMOS African Swine Fever Webinar Series, airing on January 11 at 7:00 am Central.
Title: Animal Health Aspects Related to African Swine Fever
Speakers: Drs. Gregorio Torres, Celia Antognoli, Manuel Borca
African Swine Fever (ASF) is difficult to control for many reasons, and affected countries have tried a range of strategies, with varying degrees of success. This webinar will host a conversation between University of Minnesota swine group faculty members and world-class experts on ASF control, including one of the leaders of the research program that resulted in the ASF vaccine that was recently licensed and registered in Vietnam (Dr. Borca), the coordinator of the global ASF control program led by the World Organization for Animal Health, WOAH (Dr. Torres), one of the US veterinary services team members helping with the coordination of the response in the Dominican Republic (Dr. Antognoli), and two practitioners with field experience in the control of ASF in China (Drs. Spronk and Wu).
Webinar participants will have an opportunity to listen to the conversation of these experts working at the forefront of ASF control worldwide and will also be allowed to interact indirectly with the experts by sharing their own questions and comments during the webinar.
Attend this webinar and learn:
- The unknowns and less obvious negative consequences of global disease pandemics.
- The need for preparedness and development of contingency plans around ASF. • Why the animal health aspects of ASF serve as a valuable global health model.
