Classes will run from 23 to November 25 at the Training Center in Bryansk Oblast, the scientific institution said in a press release.
The program combines theory and practice. In lectures, specialists will cover fish anatomy, helminth infections common in Russia in commercial species, protozoan and invasive infections, as well as crustacean diseases. Separate modules will focus on the impact of these conditions on the economy and human health, veterinary and sanitary inspection of fish products, and the basics of mycology.
During practical sessions, participants will work through key laboratory skills: conducting pathological necropsies and taking biomaterial samples for analysis; coprological diagnosis of helminth infections, protozoan infections and crustacean diseases; and performing mycological cultures to identify the causative agents of fungal infections.
At the end of the course, participants must pass a final assessment, after which they will receive certificates of advanced training.
