The 16th International Symposium of Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics (ISVEE 16) was held on 7–12 August 2022 in Halifax, Canada. The theme of the symposium was Connecting animals, people, and their shared environments.
Research from the CGIAR Antimicrobial Resistance Hub was featured at ISVEE 16 in both oral and poster presentations.
A poster presentation by Tushar K. Dey and colleagues highlighted molecular characterization of antibiotic resistant bacteria and antimicrobial residues in the dairy milk in India. This study sought to better understand aspects of milk safety in India by assessing antibiotic residues and resistant bacteria in milk from sampled dairy farmers and vendors.
A poster presentation by Florence Mutua and colleagues gave an overview of a study on antimicrobial use in a peri-urban smallholder poultry system, Kenya. The objective of the study was to analyse the distribution and current use of veterinary drugs in peri-urban smallholder poultry systems,
Garima Sharma and colleagues gave an oral presentation on a research study in India that compared the effectiveness of different approaches to raise knowledge and awareness about antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic use among dairy farmers, veterinarians and paraveterinarians in four states in India.
Finally, M. Worku and colleagues prepared a poster on a sytematic review and meta-analysis of erythromycin-resistant Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli among humans and chickens in Africa. The review aimed to estimate the pooled magnitude of antimicrobial resistance of C. jejuni and C. coli.
