As part of National Science Week and Smart Geelong Network's Research and Innovation Expo Week, CSIRO's Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL) in Geelong, Victoria, is opening its doors to local residents.
CSIRO scientists have moved a step closer to developing a novel DNA test which has the potential to revolutionise management of one of the biggest threats to sheep health in Australia, the barber’s pole worm.
As reported in the Journal of Immunological Methods, CSIRO scientists produced recombinant antibodies against foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and used them in a test able to differentiate vaccinated from infected animals.
