Biosecurity Engagement Program (BEP); Defense Threat Reduction (DOD) International Transboundary Animal Disease course combines classroom and laboratory exercises enabling participants to first review the etiology of the specific transboundary animal disease being studied. During the two weeks of the course, participants conduct clinical examinations of animals inoculated with selected transboundary animal diseases (TADs) and later perform full necropsies under the direction of USDA foreign animal disease experts. This experience of observing the clinical symptoms and then conducting hands-on necropsies provides the most comprehensive and practical way to study these diseases. APHIS hosted 28 veterinary officials at the PIADC, an agricultural biosecurity level 3 facility , which involves strict security protocols for entry and exit from Plum Island and the biosecure laboratories located at Orient Point, NY.
