Two
specialists from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) led a weeklong
workshop on how to effectively map the spread of diseases, like avian
influenza, using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) from January 20 to 24.
These
cutting-edge technologies can help determine how diseases spread within a
country, which makes programmes to combat diseases more effective, the US
embassy in Kathmandu said in a press note. "The programme was attended by
twenty Nepali veterinarians, scientists and other specialists working on issues
related to the spread of diseases."
The workshop was also
supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization’s Regional Support Unit in
Kathmandu.
