MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT
Ghent, 22-04-2019
Mid-term meeting of COST Action COMBAR, 27-29 August in Ghent, Belgium
After 2 successful joint Working Group meetings in Warsaw and León in 2018, this year COMBAR lands in the historical centre of Ghent (Belgium) for a meeting with specialists from Europe, Near-Neighbour Countries and beyond to discuss their work and innovations in the field of sustainable helminth control. It will be the Action’s mid-term meeting and with the central theme "Anthelmintic resistance in ruminants: Who cares?", we aim to investigate the “who and how” of a shift towards sustainable management practices in ruminant parasite control. The meeting is held jointly with the American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control (ACSRPC) and is expecting over 100 participants from different parts of the world. Further information can be found on the meeting’s website: www.combar-acsrpc2019.org
Parasitic worms are important production-limiting diseases of grazing ruminants in Europe and are mainly controlled through grazing management practices and the strategic use of anthelmintics. Today, anthelmintic resistance (AR) has become a global threat for effective parasite control and rentable livestock farming. The COST Action COMBAR aims at coordinating research at the European level to find solutions for the AR problem. The action works in a structure of 3 working groups: (1) Diagnosis; (2) Socio-economic aspects and (3) Integrated control.
