I am writing this email to deeply thank the ESVD for its help by granting me the research scholarship for 2012.

Publications from this work: “Investigations on the dog-Demodex relationship: all dogs harbour Demodex mites in the skin, but only dogs with demodicosis have antibodies against Demodex”, WCVD, Vancouver, 2012. Ravera I, Altet L, Francino O, Sánchez A, Villanueva S, Bardagi M, Ferrer L

"It was an honor to be selected for ESVD/ECVD PhD scholarship. When we were informed about it, we could not believe it! We thought that all the ideas that were kept in our minds finally would become in form and reality. We are really enjoying our work and we hope to have many interesting results. We want to thank all the ESVD and ECVD Board members for promoting the research in Veterinary Dermatology. Many thanks to all of them!"
