WVPA MATTERS
Special Subscription Rate to Avian Pathology for WVPA Members
Members of the World Veterinary Poultry Association (WVPA) are entitled to a special low subscription rate to Avian Pathology. A subscription includes all issues of the particular volume. Proof of membership should accompany an application for a subscription. This can be obtained from the Corresponding Secretary of the national WVPA branch or from the Secretary/Treasurer of the WVPA in the absence of a national branch.
Online Access for WVPA Members
Taylor and Francis, publishers of Avian Pathology, have agreed that members of WVPA who subscribe to the journal can receive their copy of the journal online, rather than as a hard copy. Members who wish to receive the journal in this way should tell the publisher when they renew their subscription, and provide proof of membership. Online access is provided to WVPA members on the strict condition that it is for the private use of that member only and must not be made available to other persons or networked to any other site.
WVPA Website
The WVPA website can be accessed at http://www.wvpa.net. The latest issue of the Association's newsletter, Aerosols, is available online at the WVPA site.
Contact details for forthcoming WVPA Congresses can be found in the International Meetings section of Avian Pathology.

Houghton Trust International Travel Grants
Avian Pathology is owned by the Houghton Trust, a charitable company.
