Regional NSW to host international experts on paratuberculosis
30 January 2012
Over 80 international paratuberculosis experts will visit a leading regional New South Wales research facility and learn about the State’s agriculture industry next month on technical tours that are a part of the 11th International Colloquium on Paratuberculosis.
Paratuberculosis is a chronic bacterial disease that is particularly relevant to the Australian agriculture industry, due to the high susceptibility of livestock (principally cattle and sheep). To highlight the strength of regional NSW’s research talent, facilities and industry practice, a group will travel to the NSW Centre for Animal and Plant Biosecurity at Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute (EMAI) in Menangle, while another group visits a large, modern, commercial sheep and beef grazing property in the Southern Highlands.

Four months later, with major input from Science and Technology Australia (STA), Climate Science for Business Champions was held at the CSIRO facilities in Lindfield. STA represents over 68,000 scientists and technologists in Australia and this activity was consistent with their goal to promote the understanding and respect for science among the community.
