Dear Colleagues, The network has proven useful for sharing technical information and I think our aim is that it will contribute towards prevention of introduction, control and eventual eradication of PPR. Additionally, may as well be a repository of technical information (research papers, guidelines etc ) for quick reference Niwael Mtui Malamsha Directorate of Veterinary Services, Tanzania On Thursday, 6 March 2014, 18:10, "Afzal, MuhammadImam (FAOPK)" <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Dear Colleagues, The network may act as technical consultation forum where people can share their findings, results and methodology for experimentation on PPR. If forum can develop guidelines for undertaking epidemiological studies of PPR and socioeconomic studies guidelines, it will be extremely useful. Dr. M.

Perhaps the needs of PPR in the laboratory and field have taken over from working with the disease on the internet. Seriously though, we do need you inputs to tell us what kind of network you want to have and use. Please read though my introduction to session 5 and if possible comment on some of the ideas that I floated there, and in the more general introduction to the conference and session 1. There are other aspects of PPR research and innovation that we might approach through the network. Could it be a forum where we develop some frameworks and guidelines for the epidemiological information urgently required to really start progressive control? Could we spell out the types and amounts of epidemiological information that are needed? Might the network be the place to publish and discuss the results of this work? Could the network commission some studies? Might the network be a suitable place to publish "scientific" papers, peer-reviewed or not? Could the network become THE global database for PPR? Please send us your comments. I will not be (greatly) offended by what you may say about my ideas and we would prefer to hear more of your own thoughts and innovative thinking - and there has been some in the conference. Perhaps one day, our time spent working collectively on PPR on the "Net" might rank as highly as time spent in the lab, office or field.
