This publication is the Proceedings of a workshop held at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Copenhagen, Denmark on 4th - 6th February, 1980, sponsored by the Commission of the EUropean Communities (CEO) as a part of the programme of coordination of agricultural research in the field of animal pathology. The CEO wishes to thank those who took responsibility for the organisation of the workshop, those who presented the papers, and all participants.
