CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Equine Piroplasmosis has been a long-standing and historically important transboundary disease for decades. However, recent advances in diagnostics, treatment, epidemiology, and genomic analysis have paved the way for a new understanding and management of a very old disease. This module consisting of an interactive lecture followed by case-discussions delivers historic background and critically important information on the disease with in-depth discussion of the most recent discoveries, including a newly identified organism, a shift in epidemiology and recognized transmission, and breakthroughs in treatment and elimination of the carrier state.
