the emerging zoonoses and amr focused meeting took place on 2 july at the university of surrey's school of veterinary medicine in guildford. we’ve turned to twitter to look at some of the highlights of the event.
in the days leading up to the event, those attending looked forward to presenting, hearing about and discussing new research.
