OIE Collaborating Centre for information on aquatic animal diseases
The (World Organisation for Animal Health) Collaborating Centre
for Information on Aquatic Diseases was established in May 1997 at
the Cefas' Weymouth laboratory with a mandate to provide National
Delegates of member countries with information from the
International Database on Aquatic Animal Diseases developed at the
laboratory.
It was subsequently decided to make the database freely
available via the internet so that it can provide benefits to a
wider audience, including veterinarians, scientists and regulators
with interest in aquatic animal health, as well as universities and
students.
The development and maintenance of this database is funded entirely
by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra),
UK who has made it publicly available on-line through the
Collaborating Centre.
