- Date: 06/15/2007
Lecturer(s):
Claude Muller (Institute of Immunology, National Public Health Laboratory, L-1950 Luxembourg )
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
rtant consequences for surveillance in
Africa and beyond. As they scavenge on many dead species, they may also
function as conspicuous sentinels in the African continent, similar to
raptors or swans in Europe or cats in Indonesia. Proper disposal of
infected carcasses must be carefully enforced on affected farms to
avoid primary infections of carrion feeders.
