The Real-Time Training Program is an intensive, 4 day program of clinical FMD investigation for the recognition and sampling of animals for Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD). Participants receive intensive class-room training for one day followed by 2-3 days of visiting suspect outbreaks, carrying out a full investigation of suspected cases and collection of epi-information, testing of samples onsite or at a laboratory equipped to undertake ELISA and penside tests for virus and antibody, and analyses to trace the movements of animals and to trace source and spread of infection.
