- Robert Fulton – BVDV overview and its respiratory implications
- Gabriel Bo, Ph.D.: BVDV’s impact on reproduction.
- Christopher Chase, Ph.D.: BVDV-caused immunosuppression scenarios.
- Emanuel Gumina, MV: Evaluation of the cell immunological response induced by Vedevax BLOCK.
Robert Fulton is one of the leading international experts in the research on the Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus and the kettle infectious diseases. He has published over 100 papers in well-respected international scientific journals, has made presentations at several conferences, and has an extensive scientific trajectory.
Gabriel Bo is one of the leading national and international experts on reproduction, embryo transfer techniques, and new technologies applied to bovine reproduction.
Christopher Chase is a researcher specializing in BVDV-caused immunosuppression and the virus’s impact on the immunological cell response with over 40 years of experience. He has been granted multiple international awards and recognitions.
Emanuel Gumina is a veterinarian, professor, and immunologist specialist for the different species of interest for veterinary production.
The 2nd International Congress on BVDV will focus on the Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus, one of the major kettle pathogens around the world which is responsible for great losses both in production and for meat and milk rodeos.
In Argentina, this virus has spread wildly, and it causes losses estimated at over USD 100 million per year in over 80% of the national and international rodeos.
The 2nd International Congress on BVDV will gather national and international specialists and leaders who will address the virus and the various problems it causes from several perspectives and points of view, thus offering a comprehensive approach, encompassing the health and the well-being of animals as well as the productive and reproductive aspects of the rodeos.
The first edition of the Congress gathered over 1,000 enrollees and more than 600 professionals from 16 countries.
