Virtual Training Course on Surveillance and Monitoring of Antimicrobial Resistance in Aquaculture
The AMR action plan of FAO and One Health global strategy aim to foster wider awareness and develop the capacity for monitoring and surveillance of antimicrobial use (AMU) and AMR in aquaculture. Capacity for monitoring and surveillance is essential for the implementation of AMR national action plans. This training course is organized by FAO in collaboration with the Institute of Hydrobiology of Chinese Academy of Sciences (IHB-CAS), and INFOFISH. This is one of the efforts to enhance national capacity, through the support from an FAO regional technical cooperation programme: TCP/RAS/3702 Support Mitigation of Antimicrobial Resistance Risk Associated with Aquaculture in Asia Programme Day 1 (26 July 2021, Monday) | 14:00-17:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7) Session 1: Introduction and overview 14:00-14:20 Welcome remarks, introduction and virtual group photo 14:20-14:40 1.1 Status of AMU and AMR in Asia by Dr Aihua Li 14:40-15:00 1.2 Important bacterial diseases of aquatic animals by Dr Eduardo Leano 15:00-15:10 Coffee break
