Dear all,

Here below a call to a short survey being conducted by the University of Chester in the UK. It's an online global survey looking at knowledge of bovine tuberculosis prevention, mitigation and epidemiology.
In order to get as wide a sampling of information, perception and understanding as possible, we are disseminating it to the FAO Livestock Technical Network membership. Thank to all in advance to give due attention to it.
All the best,

Daniela



To Whom it May Concern,

I am a recent graduate from the University of Saskatchewan and currently pursuing a Master's of Science in Wildlife Conservation at the University of Chester in England. My research dissertation is regarding veterinary, public health and agricultural professionals' perceptions of their national One Health risk factors of Bovine Tuberculosis (bTB). My project is titled:



Global perceptions of national One Health Bovine Tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) risk factors from veterinary, public health and agricultural professionals[HBS1]



I would like to invite you to participate in this survey because of the role you play within the global health community and/or the agriculture industry. Your knowledge, opinions and perceptions of bTB will provide invaluable insight which could inform future management and prevention strategies as well as reform legislation to combat further bTB outbreaks. Information from multiple countries will be collected, analyzed and used to write a comprehensive manuscript of bTB prevention and management options based on the resources and strategies employed across the globe and to address the knowledge gaps that are found.



The aim of this project is to utilize the One Health approach to encourage communication and knowledge exchange between countries to lessen the risk of disease transmission.



Your participation will be much appreciated as it will be help shape my project and help build healthier global community.
