African swine fever

About the activity

Investigate, an essential step before making decisions.

The Iberian Peninsula suffered from the PPA for 40 years, contributing dramatically to our economic and social backwardness. If any positive conclusion has been drawn from that time, it is the generation of knowledge and the formation of a bunch of researchers in our country that has undoubtedly contributed, along with other sectors of society, to consolidating the industry. veterinary that we enjoy today.

A large number of these researchers are now associated around a Research Network funded by the Spanish government, with the sole aim of promoting and consolidating the voice of veterinary research professionals in our country. This network, coordinated by IRTA-CReSA, obeys the suggestive name of RISA (Red de Investigación en Sanidad Animal; www.redrisa.es) and is open to all those professionals interested in research in Animal Health, whether or not a researcher.

With this first Conference we intend to give a couple of brushstrokes on the activities of R & D & I that are carried out today in Catalonia, including those that contribute to establish and / or improve the official plans of surveillance of the PPA.
