WVPA MATTERS
Special subscription rate to Avian Pathology for WVPA members
Members of the World Veterinary Poultry Association (WVPA) may subscribe to Avian Pathology for the year 2006 at a price of £62 or US$100. Proof of membership should accompany an application for a subscription.
Online access for WVPA members
Taylor and Francis, publishers of Avian Pathology, have agreed that members of WVPA that subscribe to the journal can, starting in 2006, 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 web site 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.
