Infectious Disease Symposium Update

Well, the SUNY ESF & SUNY Upstate Infectious Disease Symposium: From Lab to Landscape was a great success! Drs. Sadie Ryan and Anna Stewart Ibarra did a fantastic job organizing, and gave interesting talks on their innovative research with malaria and dengue fever. Recent publications on these topics can be found here and here. Click here for a list of other speakers and topics. I am also proud to say that The Amphibian Ranavirus Project poster (below)  received a 1st place award at the symposium poster session, with another lab member, Michael Jones, receiving a 3rd place award for his poster presenting his research with the Emerald Ash Borer. Molecular work with 2011 and 2012 samples continues, and I am hoping to have some prevalence results by the start of this field season, to be presented at the 2014 Northeast Fish and Wildlife Conference in Portland, Maine.
