Bovine Tuberculosis Workshop 2015
The Boyd Orr Centre for Population and Ecosystem Health of the University of Glasgow, together with the Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine and the School of Veterinary Medicine held their second workshop on Bovine Tuberculosis on the 3rd-4th September 2015 in Glasgow. This meeting brought together scientists from the fields of veterinary epidemiology, wildlife diseases, genomics and bioinformatics to discuss the following two topics:
- Immuno-epidemiology of bovine tuberculosis
- Whole genome sequencing at the wildlife/livestock interface
