Welcome to the podcast for the first issue of the Quarterly Report for 2020. This is also the first Joint report between EuFMD and the WRLFMD, replacing the former Global Monthly Report (GMR) which had been issued by the EuFMD for eight years.
Keith Sumption is the Executive Secretary of the EuFMD, and in this podcast he discusses the new Quarterly Report with Donald King, Head of the Vesicular Disease Reference Laboratory Group at the The Pirbright Institute and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) World Reference Laboratory for Foot-and-mouth disease (WRLFMD).
The Quarterly Report is available on the EuFMD website: https://www.eufmd.info/ and on the WRLFMD one: https://www.wrlfmd.org/ref-lab-reports
All colleagues reading this report are encouraged to assist to increase the submissions from these gap areas. We also welcome feedback on this new report format.
