At the closing ceremony, Nagendra Singanallur presented awards for poster presentations. David Paton won 1 st Place for Most Scientific Impact and Tamil Selvan Ramasamy Periyasamy won 2 nd Place. Tamil Selvan’s team presented preliminary evidence from India on improved in vitro and in vivo assays to assess the quality of FMD vaccine. The expected long-term outcome of the findings would be a reduction in the turn-around time for the FMD vaccine batch release assays and replacement of the challenge-based potency testing by cattle serology. The replacement of cattle serology by guinea-pig serology would be in line with 3R principles of animal experimentation.
