Dr. Yuko Sato: Poultry Pathology Science | Ep. 21

Do you know what poultry pathology is? It is the area that involves studying diseases that affect birds. Diagnosing those diseases is an important step in controlling and preventing outbreaks, since the environment, viruses, bacteria, and parasites can all affect poultry and, so that treatment and control are effective, obtaining an accurate diagnosis as soon as possible is critical. In this episode, Dr. Yuko Sato talks about her experience using different methods to investigate and identify bird diseases and discusses the latest technology for doing so.

“Diagnostics is always about finding a new technology and then figuring out whether it is better than what it has been used before.” - Dr. Yuko Sato
