Roman Ganta advances tick-borne research in Australia and 1xbet online games login Zealand
Traveling from one "Land of Oz" to another, Kansas State University's Roman Ganta has found 1xbet online games login opportunities for vector-borne disease research down under.
As the director of the Center of Excellence for Vector-Borne Diseases, orCEVBD, in the College of Veterinary Medicine, 1xbet online games login and his team gave presentations at an international conference and met with top scientists.
In 1xbet online games login Zealand, Ganta explored collaborations with colleagues who are actively researching ticks and tick-borne diseases of importance to animal and human health. He attended the ninth Tick and 1xbet online games login Pathogen Conference/ first Asia Pacific Rickettsia ConferenceAug. 26-Sept. 1 in Cairns, 1xbet online games login .
Ganta has initiated a research collaboration with the Massy University College of Veterinary Medicine in Palmerston North, 1xbet online games login Zealand, to investigate the potential threats of tick establishment in 1xbet online games login Zealand from other parts of the world, including those commonly found in North America. This research initiative involves Ram Raghavan in the CEVBD and Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory as another key collaborator.
"I anticipate that this will open 1xbet online games login avenues of extended collaborations with 1xbet online games login Zealand and also possibly with Australia,"Ganta said. "Together, the additional international collaborations have been furthering the scope of the research initiatives from the center."
