This research travel grant allowed a Seafood CRC PhD student, Victoria Valdenegro to participate in the Fish Immunology Workshop 2011, which was held from April 17th – 21st 2011 at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.
This workshop was highly relevant to the PhD project, which involves study of the immune response of Atlantic Salmon as a means to design an experimental vaccine against Neoparamoeba perurans, the causative agent of amoebic gill disease (AGD). AGD is the main disease affecting the salmon industry in Tasmania, and the development a vaccine against the pathogen is remains a very high priority for its control.
