CITES - Manual for biological sampling

On the ISPRA web site is available the first manual concerning Sampling manual of biological samples for genetic analyses on species concerning the Washington convention (CITES)

The manual was created thank to from the collaboration between ISPRA and the Carabinieri Forestali as part of a school-work alternation project and the ISPRA-MASE agreement for genetic analyzes in support of the Washington Convention.

Thanks to the work carried out in collaboration with the students of the Majorana Scientific Institute of San Lazzaro (BO), the manual describes the sampling in a detailed, but simple and concise way, dividing the biological material object of the sampling into 4 types.
