Thanks to everyone for organising this well attended and informative presentation; Particular thanks to Laura for a comprehensive review of current thinking on the subject, and also informing on the risk of infection, and answering many specific questions.
Lack of a vector for transmission remains the greatest issue to resolve, and I suspect that it may be a number of years before enough data is compiled to provide anything more than anecdotal causes. The research is expensive and will require thousands of hours of professional resource, which needs to be funded from public charitable giving.
Again, thanks for an informative evening.
Thanks, Chris. Can’t make the talk, but will look out for the review, and mull over the link. Great site, by the way. Easy to post here with a minimum of red tape.
I’m sure we’d all love to help out AM with their research. Can you post a link to the details, e.g. research topic, research question, literary basis, research hypothesis, experiment protocol, etc. etc. or do we just support this blind?
Hi Graham,
I will post a review of the talk which will be given by Laura Holm in Bransgore. Her talk should address some of your questions. Her previous research on Alabama Rot is: http://alabamarot.co.uk/about-alabama-rot/research/veterinary-record-2015/
