Dear All,
We are having quite a lot to say on seromonitoring. Looking at the points actually made in the contributions I think that there is more agreement than disagreement about how this tool can be used. However, we will not "sort out" seromonitoring in this e-conference, that is not its purpose. What we have done is show that this is a subject requiring more discussion in the relevant thematic group of PPR-GREN, which should then provide a position on seromonitoring for the OIE-FAO TADs Joint Working Group on PPR to consider. Therefore, having started this discussion I am now going to bring it to a close for this e-conference unless something absolutely innovative comes in.
In the meantime we need to refocus on this week's main session topic which is deciding the main themes for PPR-GREN.
Kind regards,
Moderator.
