Session III: Diagnosis and Control of Zoonotic Infections
Detection of zoonotic diseases requires a variety of disciplines and techniques, from the field to the lab and from the molecular to the organismal levels. The ability to recognize and treat outbreaks of zoonotic disease is linked to accurate and timely diagnostic methods. This section will explore current methodologies and future needs to detect and treat zoonotic infections.
