For the 2019 TriNation meeting, we invite scientists or industry representatives to submit presentations on current research updates on PD, CMS or HSMI and PRV.

Focus areas for this year’s meeting will be:

-Experience from the field. First hand reports from fish health personnel

-Vaccination and control. Special focus on experience from field and deformity/welfare issues

-Concurrent infections, including diagnostic challenges in regard to this.

-Discussion on the use of models for disease spread in control and legislation. Including experiences with the new Norwegian PD legislation.

-Welfare session. Coupled with heart diseases.

Presentations addressing any of these issues are therefore specifically encouraged, but all new and relevant research regarding the three diseases and their agents are welcome.

If you are interested in giving a presentation, please forward a title, name and affiliation of presenter and a short description of the topic (3-5 lines), including a brief summary of the practical implications of the findings. The presentation should be applicable and focused towards solutions for the industry. Please keep in mind that this is not a scientific conference only for researchers!

Proposals should be sent to britt-bang.jensen @ vetinst.no (remove all spaces before mailing).

We will close for abstract submission April 15^th, and let presenters know May 3^rd (at the latest) if they have been selected or not. In case more presentations are submitted than can be accommodated in the program, the steering committee will choose those that fit the program best between the submitted presentations for oral presentations, and the rest will be offered to give a poster instead.
