All set for the second edition of the Latin American Seminar on Diseases in Aquaculture organized by the INCAR Center: "Development of Vaccines to Prevent Bacterial and Parasitic Diseases in Aquaculture: Lessons and Experiences", which will take place over two days, Monday 20 and Wednesday 22 October.
The event, driven by the Principal Investigator of the "Animal Health in Freshwater Life Stages of Salmonids" line at the center and Academic at Andrés Bello University (UNAB), Dr. Ruben Avendaño-Herrera, will bring together 8 experts in two virtual sessions which already has hundreds of registrants from countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
"We are very excited not only by the interest it has generated and the response in registrations we have had, but because when we invited the researchers they accepted immediately. We hope this spirit remains so that we can continue to face collaboratively the challenges that aquaculture has in Latin America and the world," explained Dr. Ruben Avendaño-Herrera.
