Workshop: Veterinary Mycology in Practice

This half-day lecture based scientific and educational workshop is intended for ~50-100 participants including PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, veterinarians, veterinary/medical mycologists/microbiologists, veterinary pathologists, or scientists from academia (or companies) who work or want to work in the field of “Veterinary Mycology” and are looking to improve their knowledge and understanding in this area.

Course Objectives: To provide a comprehensive, and detail`-oriented primer or refresher on the currently available approaches, challenges and solutions in diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections in animals. The antifungal susceptibility and resistance testing will be also discussed.
