Other Achievement |
Dr.S. Isloor was involved in the development of ELISA for brucellosis, Multiplex PCR for major mastitis causing pathogens, biofilm based vaccine against bovine mastitis, RFFIT, molecular epidemiology of animal rabies. Employing RFFIT has additionally generated funds for the institution. He was involved in establishment of KVAFSU-CVA Rabies Diagnostic Laboratory (BSL-2) and OIE Twinning with CDC,Atlanta, USA and APHA,UK. He was nominated by the OIE to represent India for the Regional training on rabies at the OIE reference Centre, Changchun, China during 2017 and Kathamandu, Nepal for SAARC workshop on rabies in 2019. He visited CDC, Atlanta, Virginia Tech, Blacksberg, USA, APHA, University of Liverpool, UK, Curtin University, Australia under research collaboration. Dr.Isloor was the Veterinary Coordinator of the WHO-APCRI (2017) survey on rabies in India and played pivotal role in the Lakshadweep survey. He was the Organizing secretary of the National and international conferences of IAVMI (2011), CVA (2014, 2015, 2017) and Pan CVA international conference (2019). He has guided 8 Ph.D. and 13 MVSc students in Veterinary Microbiology. He was resource person/organizer in national/international training, refresher course, summer, winter schools, seminars, conferences, symposia and workshops (39). He authored international (45) and National (54) research publications. Dr.Isloor was nominated as the Member of the ‘National Technical Advisory Committee’ and resource person in drafting the National Action Plan for Control of Rabies in India (NAPRE) of Min. of Health, Govt. of India for the control and elimination of rabies in India by 2030. |
