Workshop “Molecular tracing of viral diseases in aquaculture”
Le 26 Janvier 2015
Université de Montpellier
Organized by the EMIDA project MOLTRAQ. General objectives of the workshop and course aims to provide participants knowledge on the molecular and genetic tools available for providing molecular epidemiological analysis and tracing of disease outbreaks in aquatic animals. In addition focus will be on virus evolution and on factors in the environment, the host and the virus that drive the evolution of viruses in aquatic environments.
General objectives : The workshop and course aims to provide participants knowledge on the molecular and genetic tools available for providing molecular epidemiological analysis and tracing of disease outbreaks in aquatic animals. In addition focus will be on virus evolution and on factors in the environment, the host and the virus that drive the evolution of viruses in aquatic environments.
Program: The program is divided into a workshop and stakeholder meeting Tuesday 27.01.2015 and a training course in molecular epidemiology 28-29.01.2015.
An internal progress meeting will be held back to back Friday 30th.
The key topics of the training course are: (1) How to collect molecular data in aquatic animals for epidemiological use, (2) Phylogeny and bioinformatics of viral aquatic pathogens. The sessions in the course will be a combination of theory and practical studies. Leading scientists within epidemiology and molecular biology are invited to present talks on molecular epidemiology and virus evolution.
Number of participants: Maximum 50 at the workshop sessions 1-2, and maximum 25 in course sessions 3-6. Application with background for participation needed.
At registration please inform us your background and reason for participating.
