As the latest wave of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) cases continues to wane after two years of confirmed outbreaks nationwide, our guests will outline where we stand now and what might be needed to improve monitoring and responses to new infections. Dr. Carol Cardona of the University of Minnesota is a specialist in animal health and emergency disease response while Dr. Michelle Kromm of Food Forward LLC has more than 15 years of experience in animal health and emergency disease response. They suggest that new technologies, potential vaccines and different approaches on epidemiology may pave the way for more effective management and improve biosecurity in the ongoing fight against HPAI.
