BVI diversifies away from FMD vaccines

Since its inception 37 years ago, BVI has played an important role as the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) regional reference laboratory for Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) for Sub Saharan Africa, making BVI as one of the only two such facilities in Africa and part of a Global Network of 12 reference and Collaborating Centres.

Recently appointed BVI managing director, Andrew Madeswi said the Institute is diversifying away from FMD vaccines as part of its portfolio diversification and growth.
