Dr. Larry Hammell, Co-director of ERAAAD OIE Collaborating Centre, updated the OIE Aquatic Focal Points (Asia) meeting in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in April and then visited with farmers and government representatives to develop a plan for developing expertise in aquatic epidemiology in the region.

ERAAAD is a collaborative program between the Norwegian Veterinary Institute and AVC, and accesses specialists in both institutions to assist with aquatic health research and training projects throughout the world.
