News release - funding approved for investigation for possible parasitic and bacterial causes of CRGV – Dr Colin Berry

We have just approved funding to carry out an investigation into a range of possible parasitic and bacterial pathogens which give similar symptoms to CRGV in other species.
 
This will be carried out by Dr Colin Berry, Reader at Cardiff School of Biosciences and Methods and will involve microscopic, and electron microscopic analysis of tissue samples for the presence of parasites, and bacteria, particularly slow growing intracellular bacteria, in the tissues.
 
The aim is to complete the study by the end of the year ready for publication of the results in a peer reviewed veterinary journal.
