The Fish Health Report 2023 from the Norwegian Veterinary Institute is now available in English.
The Norwegian Veterinary Institute (NVI) has contributed to the establishment of a national reference laboratory for fish histopathology and training facilities in Ghana. It is the first fish histopathology laboratory of its kind in the West African sub-region.
Fungal infections are a serious threat to humans, animals and plants, with 1.5 million deaths annually and food production at risk. Meanwhile, the development of fungicide resistance is becoming an increasing problem worldwide.
The NavAzole project will, among other things, map and create an understanding of the development of fungicide resistance. Senior researcher at the Veterinary Institute, and leader of the project, Ida Skaar believes that the knowledge is absolutely necessary to be proactive - especially in view of a wetter and warmer climate that we can probably expect in the future.
