RANEMA - Applied epidemiology of animal diseases

Descriptif de la formation

RANEMA (a refresher course in applied epidemiology of animal diseases), designed under a partnership between the Ecole nationale vétérinaire d’Alfort (veterinary academy), the Animal and integrated risk management unit of CIRAD (AGIRs) and our training FVI-CIRAD team, with funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
