Herein, I present a brief look at the Fusarium research activity of three major ARS laboratories: The Richard Russell Research Center in Athens, GA; the Food Animal Protection Research Laboratory in College Station, TX; and the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, IL. There is collaboration among the scientists from these three laboratories, and there is common collaboration with other governmental agencies and major universities throughout the United States. Major national and international meetings are attended, often as invited speakers, by the scientists engaged in Fusarium research at these three laboratories. The international collaborations among these scientists at these three laboratories are very extensive, and when viewed along with the collaborative research in the United States, there is an extremely vast network of collaborative activity among and by these three laboratories. This collaborative effort not only maintains these laboratories at the forefront of this investigative area where they are primary leaders of such activity, but the most benefit for the dollars expended for research is being attained. |
