Strengthening disease detection across countries with iVetNet

iVetNet is an information platform run and maintained by the IAEA, in full cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), for compiling, disseminating and harmonizing techniques for the detection and characterization of transboundary animal and zoonotic pathogens.
