Two dozen scientists from around the world gathered in high-tech classrooms and laboratories in central Iowa on Monday to learn how to diagnose avian influenza and control its spread.

The scientists from 19 countries including Argentina, Mozambique, Lebanon and Taiwan, were taking part in the Avian Influenza Diagnostic Training Course at Iowa State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. The five-day training course, a collaboration of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and ISU, was the third of its kind in the past six months. The USDA's Foreign Agriculture Service provided most of the funding for the event.
