2024 International Avian Respiratory Disease Conference

The 2024 International Avian Respiratory Disease Conference will focus on avian coronaviruses, avian paramyxoviruses, laryngotracheitis virus and complicating pathogens, such as avian metapneumoviruses and Mycoplasma spp. While emphasis will be placed on infectious bronchitis virus, and Newcastle disease virus, all viruses from these families will be included. Original research on epidemiology, molecular virology, pathogenesis, immunity, diagnosis, and control as they relate to these viruses will be covered.
