On November 10 we hosted in Paris the first workshop on livestock trade movements in Europe gathering representatives (modelers, network experts, veterinary scientists, animal health agency officials) from 14 countries. One day to discuss the results of the first comparative study of cattle trade systems that we are currently conducting, its epidemic implications and future perspectives.
Our results were also presented by our collaborator Akos Jozwiak from the Hungarian National Food Chain Safety Office at the meeting of EFSA, the European Food Safety Agency on November 23, spurring a large interest in the potential of network approaches to solve vet and food safety issues.
The lab is also looking for a PhD student to follow these research directions. If you’re interested, here’s the possibility to have a Master thesis financed in France (if you're a student in a French University), or please get in touch with Vittoria Colizza for a PhD (CV + statement of interest).
