Dr. Federico Ronchi is a biologist and works at the Viral Vaccines Production Department of the Istituto Zooprofilattico dell’Abruzzo e del Molise "G. Caporale." His work primarily focuses on developing viral vaccines for animal exotic diseases that pose significant risks to European countries. Together with his colleagues, he has successfully developed several inactivated vaccines targeting diseases such as Lumpy Skin Disease, Rift Valley Fever, African Horse Sickness, Peste des Petits Ruminants, and Bluetongue. His most recent research contribution involves the development of an inactivated vaccine against Epizootic Haemorrhagic Disease. Dr. Ronchi has authored numerous national and international publications on viral veterinary vaccines and has gained international experience through positions held at the Central Veterinary Laboratory in Windhoek, Namibia, and the Central Veterinary Laboratory in Dubai. In Dubai, he collaborated with Dr. Wernery on a polyvalent inactivated vaccine for African Horse Sickness.
