control of nodaviral disease in tropical marine finfish hatcheries : enhanced biosecurity through...
DESCRIPTION
The specific objectives of the project were: 1. To evaluate current biosecurity measures in select Indonesian marine finfish hatcheries and to evaluate current diagnostic capacity in select Indonesian laboratories as a basis for determining functional and operational improvements in hatchery management and control of VNN. 2. To enhance the knowledge base of Indonesian laboratory staff in aquatic animal pathology, epidemiology and molecular diagnostics through training workshops at the University of Sydney focussing on the use and limitations of PCR as a diagnostic and research tool to investigate the epidemiology and pathogenesis of VNN. 3. To establish contemporary PCR technology for the diagnosis of VNN within select Indonesian laboratories through transfer of technology supported by on-going collaboration and quality assurance standards.TRANSCRIPT
