Aquaculture Virology

Dr. Frederick Kibenge is Professor of Virology at the Atlantic Veterinary College, University of Prince Edward Island. He obtained his BVM from Makerere University and his PhD from Murdoch University, and he is the former Chairman of the Department of Pathology and Microbiology at the Atlantic Veterinary College. Dr. Kibenge has more than 30 years of experience investigating animal viruses and the biology of viral pathogens. His research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of virus virulence to improve on methods of virus detection and control. Dr. Marcos Godoy is a field veterinarian and Faculty of Natural Sciences at the Veterinary School of San Sebastian University. He is also Technical Director at Centro de Investigaciones Biologicas Aplicadas (CIBA). His work focuses on pathology, diagnostic equipment, and associated services in fish and molluscan aquaculture. His recent research interests include investigating disease outbreaks of salmonids in Chilean aquaculture operations
