Histopathology 

Please note that this workshop is full 

We are pleased to announce the next histopathology workshop on Lymphoid organs (including musculoskeletal / nervous system pathology) for the 17th September.  Preference is given to EAFP members who can ideally contribute to the workshop.  If you wish to attend please contact me (david.bruno@scotland.gsi.gov.uk) before you register and pay your conference fee so I can reserve you a place.  The success of the workshop depends on the material and case notes that you are able to present so please look through your collection for relevant material.  The cost will be 30 Euros which will go towards the cost of the CD. 

Eel diseases - Ivona Mladineo

² Co-chairperson, co-organizer, Environment Agency Austria, Spittelauer Lände 5, 1090 Vienna, Austria.

With the globalization of transport of live fish, eel diseases occur at a global level in wild and cultured eel populations. Various parasites, bacteria and viruses are known to cause disease in eel. Wild eel stocks have decreased to a minimum. Apart from exploitation through fisheries, predation by birds, and pollution, disease is thought to play a role in the decline. Since aquaculture of eel is still dependent on wild eel as stock fish, this affects the eel culture directly. In eel culture, additionally, warm water diseases are causing problems, including zoonotic bacterial infections which may harm man.

We will organize this workshop to have an insight into the most important infectious eel diseases, their pathobiology, epidemiology, transmission, diagnosis, therapy, prevention and zoonotic potential. After small lectures, a general discussion will be held, and a report of the workshop will be made and submitted to the EAFP Bulletin for consideration.

Thursday 15 Sept 2011, 11.15h-13.00h, Room T3

The workshop will be opened with 2 lectures (15 and 30 min) from the organizers, followed up with 10 min lectures:
