Newer concepts of animal disease diagnosis are required as any type of emerging or re-emerging disease follows a rapid pandemic form. Majority of the conventional pathogen detection techniques have been perceived in animal disease diagnosis to be time consuming, laborious and even sometimes require in vivo systems. Technological advancements in the field of nucleic acid based detection of pathogens have comfortably overtaken such conventional methods by detecting various animal pathogens in a more rapid and sensitive way. On the other hand resistance to antimicrobials is a global problem. Pathogens rapidly develop mutations that render current treatments ineffective. Tackling this resistance will require a deep understanding of microbial infections and the mechanisms through which resistance arises.

Recent Trends in Molecular Diagnosis of Microbial Pathogens Associated with Livestock and Poultry consists of invited lectures and in-house lectures. It addresses recent knowledge on microbiological techniques viz. antimicrobial resistance, molecular techniques and why there is still need of conventional techniques.
