Award for the best paper in Avian Pathology
An award the Bart Rispens Research Award is made every two years for the paper judged the best to be published over a twoyear period in Avian Pathology. The award comprises a silver medallion, a certificate and a cheque. The Bart Rispens Memorial Award Committee chooses the winning paper. This committee comprises eight persons; four are appointed by the Board of Trustees of the Bart Rispens Memorial Award Fund and four others by the WVPA. The President of WVPA, currently Dr Lloyd Spencer, is a member of the Board of Trustees and a member of the Award Committee. The Secretary of the Award Committee is Dr Guus Koch. Members of the committee serve for a period of six years, covering three awards. The award is named after Dr Bart Rispens who was one of the pioneers in developing vaccines against Marek's disease. Following his death at the age of 44 years a Bart Rispens Memorial Award Fund was established in his honour.
The prize was first awarded in 1977. The most recent award, for the period 1997 and 1998, was made to Dr Jagoda Ignjatovic of the CSIRO Division of Animal Health, Australian Animal Health Laboratory, Geelong. Her paper, published with coauthors S. I. Sapats and F. Ashton, is entitled A longterm study of Australian infectious bronchitis viruses indicates a major antigenic change in recently isolated strains (Vol. 26, 535552, 1997). The next award will be for the period 1999 and 2000 and will be presented to the winner at the XII Congress of the World Veterinary Poultry Association, Cairo, Egypt; September 2001.
