FROM THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
This has been another productive year
for us at the ADDL. The Bacteriology Laboratory continues
to develop and implement PCR tests for various animal pathogens
(see last issue, Fall 1997). The Virology Laboratory is now
offering a test for persistently infected BVD cattle (see
this issue, page 3).
In addition, faculty and staff of the
ADDL continue to play an active role in national meetings
of the American Association of the Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians
(AAVLD) as well as the American College of Veterinary Pathologists
(ACVP). Dr. Nick Macri, a graduate student, was presented
the C.L. Davis Award for the outstanding graduate student
from Purdue University at the last ACVP meeting held in Albuquerque,
New Mexico last month.
As this year draws to a close, I am
extremely thankful for another year of working at the ADDL,
but even more importantly, I am thankful for the hard working
employees of this laboratory.
