Dear Mr Moderator,
 
My worry is in line with that of Dr Akiko Kamata. We are almost running to the 4th and last week of this conference, and I have not read (maybe I missed out on them) any contributions from scientists of countries of the the former Soviet block. I remember that  working closely with the GREP Secretariat prior to the declaration of the global eradication of rinderpest I was charged with translating a lot of rinderpest-related information from the Russian to English. It was not a very easy task for me to carry out, especially given the relatively limited amount of time before the declaration.

PPR is a serious problem in several Central Asian countries formerly part of the USSR. I don't know, however, how many of these countries and those countries that are at-risk of PPR in the former USSR are actively pursuing research into the disease. When it is fully established PPR-GREN will be widely promoted through the OIE and FAO and every effort made to include participants from all interested countries.  Moderator.
