    Last week, a postgraduate student of the Department of Epizootology and Veterinary Business Organization, Iryna Makovska, presented research materials on the revolutionary changes in the sources of rabies virus in Ukraine at Emerging Viruses 2019 Symposium, held at one of the colleges of the University of Oxford (research adviser - Vitaliy Nedosekov). Iryna Makovska recently received the First Prize at the Warsaw Conference (https://nubip.edu.ua/node/61242) and the Award at One Health International Symposium, supported by the U.S. Government (https://nubip.edu.ua/node/61385).
 

   This time, Iryna Makovska won Bogdan Solchanyk grant (http://solchanykgrant.com) and was selected to present her research results at Oxford University.

    Iryna's report was extremely informative and raised a lively discussion on current rabies situation in Ukraine.

    It should be noted that the issue of rabies, raised by Iryna Makovska, remains extremely relevant.
 

    Therefore, on September 28, the world community will commemorate World Rabies Day (WRD), which will be held at the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine.
