2020-2021 President's Message |
|
Dear AAVLD Members and Supporters:
I would like to thank everyone for a successful 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting, the first of its kind in the AAVLD’s history.
Each year, the AAVLD leadership changes at the annual meeting. As the new President, I must acknowledge the incredible contributions of Drs. Deep Tewari and Keith Bailey who served as the AAVLD’s President and Immediate Past President, respectively, in 2020. Both of them worked tirelessly to lead our organization through an immensely challenging year. It would be remiss of me not to recognize the AAVLD’s Executive Director, Dr. David Zeman, who is an absolute treasure to our organization. In addition, I look forward to working with Dr. Jerry Saliki, our President-Elect, and Dr. Eric Burrough, the newly elected Vice President.
The AAVLD is a strong organization that promotes one health with a special focus on animal health, fosters a culture of continuous improvement, and supports the professional development of its members. The sustained strength of AAVLD comes from our members’ strong beliefs in one health, food security, and a strong economy. Throughout the organization’s history, we have always turned challenges into new opportunities to lead and serve. In 2020, many of our members and their laboratories stepped up to the new responsibility of protecting fellow Americans from SARS-Cov-2 (Covid-19). I salute you for overcoming the countless obstacles to make a positive impact on our society and our profession.
As the President, I will continue our tradition of dedication, collaboration and inclusion. To successfully address future challenges, we must broaden our partnership with our sister organizations and relevant government agencies, increase our influence on policies affecting animal health and public health, and promote diversity and inclusion within our organization.
Finally, AAVLD has been my professional home for nearly 20 years, and has provided me with meaningful collaborations, guidance, pertinent knowledge, and peer support. I believe that all our members, regardless of their status, background, expertise, disciplines, or any other attributes, are important to the success of AAVLD. To the well-established members, I encourage you to find a couple of mentees to pass on your knowledge. To the relatively new members, I urge you to both seek out collaborators and mentors and actively look for opportunities to volunteer.
Have a safe, productive, and successful 2021!
Shuping Zhang, AAVLD President

Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) |
|
In September, the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) opened their new facility on the West Texas A&M University campus in Canyon, Texas. The 11,000 square-foot facility features an open-flow laboratory environment for enhanced collaboration, including one of only two high-containment, biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) laboratories in Texas specifically designed to test for high-consequence animal diseases that pose a significant threat to the agriculture economy and public health. This new facility signals a relocation from TVMDL’s previous laboratory in Amarillo, Texas.

Vet Labs like ADRDL Assist with COVID Testing |
|
Originally printed in the Brookings Register, Editorial Opinion Page
October 19, 2020
The South Dakota Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory (ADRDL) on the campus of SDSU has been providing diagnostic services for animal owners since 1887. Only one year ago, agricultural leaders, administrators, faculty, and staff gathered to celebrate and cut the ribbon for the beautiful new high containment laboratory where this work would continue in state-of-the-art facilities. After years of planning and construction it appeared things might get back to normal at the lab… but then the COVID Pandemic appeared.
Suddenly, human public health laboratories were overwhelmed with testing demands. Public Health officials in each state had to quickly find options to expand testing capacity amid a pandemic that also impacted labor availability. Infectious disease labs are complex facilities that must ensure safety of their lab’s workers as well as the surrounding environment. Diagnostic personnel have advanced degrees and specialized experiences that take years to develop. In other words, fixing the problem of overwhelming test demand in the public health labs did not have simple solutions. It would take consideration of unique solutions from outside of normal testing schemes.
Could animal health diagnostic labs assist public health labs? Scientifically, the answer is definitely yes. The science of germ identification is identical whether the animal is human or bovine or canine. The equipment and biosafety principles, and the facility requirements are universal. The educational training in basic sciences is the same. The only things different were the traditional lines of authority and licensure issues between human medicine and veterinary medicine. Adjustments were quickly made to solve these issues during a national testing capacity crisis.
Veterinary diagnostic labs across the nation, like the SDSU ADRDL have been asked to step in and assist with human COVID virus testing. Currently, 20 AAVLD accredited animal health labs in the USA are testing for COVID in human specimens. At the ADRDL, the focus is on keeping the campus safe and operational. They add this work, while still completing their primary mission of ensuring food animals, pets and wildlife remain healthy; ensuring the food supply is secure.
The potential for the need of such a response was anticipated years ago by epidemiologists and infectious disease lab workers. In 2006, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) established the One Health Initiative Task Force. The One Health concept states simply that the health of the planet is determined by the combined and interactive health statuses of humans, animals, and the environment. The concept was quickly endorsed by the American Medical Association (AMA), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Animal Health Association (OIE in Paris). Federal agency coordination is now under the CDC One Health Office, directed by Dr. Casey Barton, a veterinarian.
The coordination that allowed animal health labs to rapidly step in to assist with COVID testing was largely due to the previous establishment of the National Animal Health Lab Network (NAHLN). The NAHLN is an example of a successful working partnership between a Federal agency (USDA) and the state laboratories represented by the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD). The SD ADRDL is a key member of the NAHLN.
One year ago following the new ADRDL’s dedication ceremony, I closed a congratulatory and thank you letter by saying I was confident that this new laboratory would serve the State and Nation well as an essential public infrastructure… a point that this past year has now proven absolutely true. Keep up the great work ADRDL and thank you to all veterinary laboratory diagnosticians for your dedicated public service!

MSU Vet Lab begins testing human samples for COVID-19
“The laboratory has proven invaluable to the state of Michigan when we have faced threats to animal health. Now, we can provide support as we face perhaps the greatest human health threat of our lifetimes,” said VDL’s Interim Director James Averill. “We’re here and we’re ready.”
MSU veterinary medicine experts began monitoring SARS-CoV-2 in late January and soon developed a test for animals. At the same time, they used protocols from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to set up and validate a diagnostic test for human samples. In late July, the MSU reopening task force reviewed the lab’s capabilities and asked for expanded capacity to help protect the campus community.
“Veterinary medicine might not be the first line of defense against COVID-19, but these health care professionals have the skills, knowledge and competency to make an impact. Personnel at the VDL have deep expertise and experience with many methods to rapidly identify diseases, as well as proven capabilities to provide high-volume testing in outbreak situations,” said Rachel Reams, VDL’s outgoing director.
The VDL — fully accredited by the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians — is uniquely positioned to step in and support COVID-19 testing during the current health crisis when laboratory capacity and rapid turnaround time is crucial for identifying and controlling community spread. The lab is not operating as a sample collection site.
Testing human samples for SARS-CoV-2 began in the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory’s Biosafety Level 3 Laboratory. Samples are handled in biosafety cabinets by personnel wearing a powered air purifying respirator (PAPR).
"Our team is well-versed in processing infectious disease samples, including those with potential to infect humans. In fact, the building was designed to facilitate testing for a zoonotic disease outbreak, with enhanced biosafety spaces for safe handling and containment of high-consequence diseases,” said Steven Bolin, professor and VDL associate director.
Bolin and a team of six laboratory technologists in the VDL’s immunodiagnostics section were responsible for setting up and conducting SARS-CoV-2 testing.
“What we did not expect when designing the building safety features was that we would be called upon by our human health colleagues to respond to a human health crisis of this magnitude. In the last four months, we spent hundreds of hours creating, obtaining and evaluating methods, reagents and equipment for diagnostic use in animals and humans for detection of infections with SARS-CoV-2,” Bolin said.
The VDL diagnosticians faced a challenge switching from animal samples to human samples. While the procedures, supplies and equipment are similar for each, human testing is regulated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services through the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, or CLIA. Establishing standard operating procedures for human testing and securing supplies were only part of the process.
The diagnostic team partnered with John Gerlach, Olin Student Health Center laboratory director and program director of MSU’s Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics program, to oversee testing of human samples at the VDL. Samples are collected by MSU Health Care personnel and transferred to the VDL for testing.
“It was a very short hurdle to have the VDL CLIA ready. The accrediting body they already work under has many of the same goals and similar regulations. It was really a matter of aligning documentation of compliance with Olin’s process,” Gerlach said. “The VDL has a great group of dedicated laboratory professionals.”
Bolin and others at the laboratory worked closely with both Gerlach and officials at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, especially those at the MDHHS laboratory, to ensure that the VDL was prepared to begin testing when needed.
To help the VDL increase potential test capacity from 100 samples to 1,000 samples per day by September, MDHHS provided a test kit for the team to adapt and verify a procedure that can run three times more samples than the standard CDC format. MSU President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D., prioritized funding to cover start-up costs for additional resources to achieve capacity goals. Despite supply chain challenges, the new instruments arrived days before the first samples were delivered for testing.
The VDL is a premier, full-service, fully accredited veterinary diagnostic laboratory for all species. On average, the lab performs one million tests per year on approximately 200,000 cases for more than 300,000 animals. The VDL is a member of key federal networks charged with protecting human and animal health. Its core diagnostics, innovative solutions and expert service has earned it clients in all 50 states, U.S. territories and more than 20 foreign countries. The lab serves about 9,000 clients per year.

JVDI in Focus
The goal of JVDI in Focus is to bring attention to an interesting article appearing in the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation. This month’s focus is on our November issue: “Focus issue on best practices for development, validation, and use of PCR assays,” with guest editors Kathy Toohey-Kurth, Beate Crossley, Sharon Hietala.
Among the topics specifically addressed in these focus issue papers are: a comparison of different international validation guidelines, with suggested practices for assay development and validation for real-time PCR assays; performance of pre-analytical, analytical, and post- analytical steps to ensure reliable real-time PCR assays; the different types of internal assay controls that would ideally be included in PCR-based testing to detect and manage the inhibitory substances commonly associated with different specimen matrices; guidance for sample preparation, submission to sequencing applications, and quality assessment of data obtained when using Sanger-based genetic sequencing in the context of diagnostic laboratory use; a methodologic review of test validation studies for infectious diseases in wild mammals with a focus on study design, statistical analysis, and reporting of results; and the report of a new open- source real-time PCR assay for Mycoplasma cynos using principles and guidance as outlined in the associated papers from the AAVLD Laboratory Technology Committee. The complete protocol of the M. cynos tuf assay is provided to facilitate assay harmonization.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding AAVLD Membership:
When are my dues fee due?
They are due November 15 for the next calendar year. Many members pay for the next year when they register for the annual meeting. Lead time is needed to finalize committee appointments for the new year.
Does it matter who pays for my dues?
No. Your status will be the same with their resepective privileges whether you pay, your employer pays, or your Uncle Vinny.
Are Lab Accreditation dues different than Institutional/Agency membership dues?
Yes
· Laboratory Accreditation dues are different and separate and are related to accreditation only and go to fund the accreditation program only.
· Whether accredited or not, a Laboratory (or Institution/Agency) may additionally become an Institutional/Agency Member. By doing so they are supporting the broad mission of the AAVLD and these funds go to support CE and training and all other activities of the AAVLD. Institutional/Agency Members are highly valued members and are demonstrating leadership and belief in our organizational purpose.
Do Institutional/Agency Member labs have to pay for their employees individual dues?
No. A laboratory, institution, agency or department can become a member under this category even without signing up their employees. They are simply supporting the AAVLD mission with their dues payment. Some states are not allowed to pay for employee dues; and some states have budgetary restrictions.
