***************************************************************************************** It is a sincere pleasure for us to invite You to participate in the 8th International Colloquium on Paratuberculosis in Copenhagen, Denmark, from August 14-18 2005. We are proud to have been chosen as hosts of this conference and it is our sincere hope that we will be able to provide a good environment for yet another fruitful meeting of the “international paratuberculosis society” under the auspices of the International Association for Paratuberculosis. It is our hope that not only new and experienced scientists in the field of paratuberculosis, but also a number of local veterinarians and cattle health advisors will attend the colloquium. We also hope that a spirit of mutual inspiration between scientists and practitioners will build up during the week.
Denmark has a long experience with Johne's disease dating back as long as the work of Dr. Bernhard Bang in 1906. Later, other prominent Danish paratuberculosis researchers such as Dr. Berg Jørgensen have been contributing to the diagnosis and understanding of this important disease. Today, a century after Dr. Bang's detailed work, Denmark is faced with a significant paratuberculosis problem with a high number of infected herds in the dairy industry. Consequently, an increasing attention to this disease has become apparent among Danish farmers, veterinary practitioners and researchers in the past decades. The colloquium will be held at the workplace of Dr. Bang, The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Frederiksberg, close to the centre of Copenhagen. The University holds excellent facilities for a small-scale international conference like ours with an atmosphere of both inspiration and tranquillity in the beautiful garden and among the new and old University buildings on the 14.5 hectares campus. The year 2005 also marks the 200th birthday of the famous Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen. Go to the Hans Christian Andersen 2005 webpage to find the latest details on the celebration and find out how you can make the most of your stay in Denmark. We hope to see many both new and familiar faces at the 8th ICP in Denmark in August 2005. On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, Gregers
Jungersen, DVM Ph.D.
