AASV to Hold Session at World Pork Expo

May 27, 2009 — 

The AASV will hold a members-only session again this year at the World Pork Expo. This year's topic will be the recent A-H1N1 influenza outbreak. Participants will learn about the latest research, surveillance and response plans, vaccine challenges and the impact the disease has had on the U.S. swine industry. The session will provide ample opportunity for open discussion about the interaction between animal health and public health interests and the swine veterinarian's role and responsibilities in the face of an influenza outbreak.

The session, entitled Novel H1N1 Influenza: Implications for Public Health, Swine Health and the Veterinarian, will be held on Thursday June 4th 1:00 - 5:00pm in the Elwell Family Food Center (formerly known as the Iowa Tourism Building) located on the west side of the Iowa State Fairgrounds near Gate 10. A map of the fairgrounds is available here: http://www.iowastatefair.com/services/fair_map.pdf.

There is no pre-registration or fee to attend the session. AASV members can view the agenda on the AASV website.

The meeting is open to AASV members only.
