outings: Animal Health Symposium

Sept 2006
I was vacationing in San Francisco and luckily stumbled upon the 5th. International Symposium on Animal Health. Although I didn't sit in on all the lectures it seemed I was on a roll because I saw several lectures that dealt specifically with koi

  • KHV was discussed
  • This vaccine seems to be working
