2nd National Abalone Virus Scientific and Management Forum

Disease Homepage | Background & Impact | Management Action | Biosecurity Protocols | Research & Surveillance

On 2nd October 2007, DPI hosted the 2nd National Abalone Virus Scientific and Management Forum. The purpose of the forum was to develop a future work program for:

The 2nd Forum which was attended by over 50 participants from the industry, scientific and policy community with an interest in abalone health. The key outcomes of the Forum were the agreement from all parties that this issue requires a National approach and the development of a draft work plan, which is governed by an appropriate coordinating body, moving forward. The draft workplan has now been completed and addresses future epidemiology of the disease, managing wild stocks, biosecurity within sectors and a National biosecurity framework.
