ONLINE LECTURE SERIES CONTENT
Tick populations are increasing worldwide, creating a growing challenge for horse owners and veterinarians alike. Many ticks also transmit infectious agents that can result in the development of serious equine diseases. Limited options for acaricides that are safe and effective for horses further complicate tick control efforts. To protect equine health against the growing threat of ticks and tick-borne infections, veterinarians need to have a thorough understanding of the risk of infestation and infection in their region, recognize cases of tick-borne disease when they present and be knowledgeable of current treatment recommendations, and be able to advise owners about strategies for limiting ticks on horses.
This Lecture Series of interactive online lectures and case-discussions is aimed at practicing equine veterinarians and approaches equine ticks and tick-borne infections via an intentional combination of case-based descriptions and supporting didactic content. A curated team of international experts from around the world will be sharing their insights, with highly experienced, specialist equine clinicians adding their input and making comments during the lectures. Each Module will consist of an interactive lecture followed by discussion of cases jointly presented by the clinician and infectious disease expert or entomologist.
The following key topics of clinical relevance will be covered via separate in-depth, interactive discussion-based modules: Biology, habitat, and seasonality of important equine ticks worldwide; nuances of various equine tick-borne infections, including piroplasmosis, borreliosis, anaplasmosis, and tick-borne encephalitis; and challenges and opportunities for equine tick control.
Attending veterinarians are encouraged to ask questions, share their experiences, and describe their own challenging clinical cases as part of this lecture series.
Interactive Learning with Extensive Case Discussions
Each module comprises a comprehensive lecture followed by extensive case discussions. You'll have the opportunity to actively participate by asking questions, sharing comments, and exchanging tips & tricks with fellow attendees. We foster a dynamic learning environment where your engagement is encouraged and much valued.
