Overview
Alongside the R&D programme the JDRC investigates topics of interest to ensure New Zealand had a thorough understanding of the disease in its New Zealand context.
A number of reviews were commissioned by the JDRC including:
- a review of the Prevalence of JD in New Zealand
- an assessment of vaccination as a control tool; and
- the observations of lesions at slaughter as a surveillance tool.
JDRC also ran workshops to upskill industry and producers. Information given at these forums is reproduced below.
