NUCLEIC ACID TECHNIQUES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF FISH PATHOGENS:=20
DETECTION, CHARACTERISATION AND EVOLUTION
August 7th - August 17th, 1994
Department of Microbiology, University College Galway, Ireland
This intensive practical course is designed to provide a training in =
the=20
use of nucleic acid techniques for the analysis of bacterial and vira=
l=20
pathogens of fish. It is aimed at scientists wishing to expand their =
research=20
to include this area or younger scientists entering this field. No di=
rect=20
experience is required. This course is sponsored in part by the Europ=
ean=20
