Dr. Indranil Samanta is an Associate Professor and Head of Veterinary Microbiology Department at the West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences, Kolkata, India. Dr. Samanta’s research focuses on Indian livestock, poultry, captive birds, and companion animals as sources of zoonotic pathogens possessing determinants of antimicrobial resistance, contaminated environment as a source of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and human behaviour related to antibiotic usage and prescription. . He has authored several research articles in peer reviewed journals and four books entitled Veterinary Bacteriology, Veterinary Mycology, Pet bird diseases and care, and Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture: Perspective, policy and mitigation Dr. Samiran Bandyopadhyay Samiran Bandyopadhyay is a Principal Scientist at ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute. His research focuses on emergence of antimicrobial resistance in food and companion animals from eastern and north-eastern India. He is also the coordinator of animal science institutes working under Indian Network for Fisheries and Animal Antimicrobial Resistance Dr. Olivier Sparagano is a Professor at the City University of Hong Kong.
