Outstanding contributors to Foot-and-Mouth Disease Research in Europe

1954-2004

The EUFMD Commission wishes to record the outstanding contributors to FMD research that related to disease control in Europe. These efforts have been in a variety of disciplines.

We are therefore asking you to:

-IDENTIFY up to 10 “outstanding contributors” to the FMD researchfrom your country over the 50 years. Please indicate if they are known to be alive today and if known, their contact details.

-NOMINATE up to 10 outstanding EUROPEAN contributors to FMD research whose work has had international impact in the last 50 years. (This can include nationals of your country).

There may be some overlap between these categories and persons can be mentioned twice! Please try to cover the 50 years if you can.

A small working group will bring together the results, if needed seeking further opinion and supporting information.

We thank you in advance for your assistance. The lists will be published on June 11th at the Anniversary Event in Dublin, and we will seek to suitably honour the outstanding individuals.

We ask you to return your lists as soon as possible so we may contact, and certainly by Friday, 30 April 2004.

Please try to answer it now – it should not take long!

Thank you.
