INSTITUTE TO PROBE ANIMAL, HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT LINKS: (06/15/06):

" A new research institute in Alberta will study how people, animals

and the environment may interact to threaten public health.

Researchers will assess how animal-based diseases such as mad cow

disease or avian flu could jump the species barrier to be transmitted

to people more easily. Veterinary researchers, environmental

scientists and medical doctors will work together at the $32-million

facility at the Alberta Veterinary Research Institute in Edmonton.

Another focus of the research will examine how the interactions may

cause economic damage to the livestock industry. "
