Beschreibung

Tick distribution, along with the pathogens they carry, is ever expanding, and therefore, it is paramount that veterinarians stay educated on the tick-borne diseases commonly seen in the United States. In this webinar, you will learn about the major tick-borne diseases of veterinary importance from Dr. Brian Herrin. Dr. Herrin will highlight the key points to understanding and controlling tick-borne diseases in your practice. The first part of the seminar will focus on identification and distribution of the known tick vector(s). The second section will cover diagnosis and treatment of the tick-borne diseases, including clinical cases to highlight key features of the disease manifestation. The seminar will conclude with helpful/practical prevention and control strategies for ticks and their pathogens alike. With ticks, tick-borne diseases, and the products used to control them changing all the time, this webinar will provide the most current information to help veterinarians better understand the diseases endemic to their region as well as across the country.

Brian Herrin, DVM, PhD, DACVM (Parasitology)

Dr. Brian Herrin is a board certified veterinary parasitologist at Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. He completed both his DVM and PhD at Oklahoma State University before accepting a faculty position at Kansas State. Over the past 5 years, Dr. Herrin has been researching the use of canine serologic diagnostic tests for Lyme disease to predict the range expansion of the disease and the risk of infection to humans.  While his current research focus is on the epidemiology Lyme borreliosis in humans and dogs in North America, he is always looking for new and interesting projects on ticks and tick-borne diseases. Some of his recent interests are the evaluation of diagnostic assays for tick-borne diseases and surveillance of ticks and tick-borne diseases from horses. Although his research focus is on ticks, Dr. Herrin enjoys working with all parasites of veterinary importance through the diagnostic service and teaching/outreach opportunities. If you come across any interesting or challenging parasite cases, do not hesitate to contact Dr. Herrin at the Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.

What is new in tick paralysis 2017
The last 12 months have seen refinements in the management of tick paralysis, and release of new options for tick prevention for pets. I will take the audience through the Guide to Diagnosis, Management, Treatment and Prevention of Tick Paralysis which was authored by the Australian Paralysis Tick Advisory Panel in 2016. This document was a collaborative effort of veterinarians in general and specialist practice, academia and industry which provides a consensus for current treatment of dogs and cats with tick paralysis. I have also been involved in a large- scale study of tick paralysis management of cats, and have already changed some of the ways I approach these patients. I will share some of the insights with the audience, as well as revising the big picture of what we are trying to achieve in tick paralysis management.

Feline Heartworm Disease (for Nurses)
Feline heartworm disease, caused by Dirofilaria immitis worms, is a good example of where a cat is definitely not a small dog. Infection in dogs tends to be better tolerated, the adult worms are more likely to reach patency and diagnosis and treatment are (relatively) easier than in cats. The reasons for these differences, what can be done to ensure cats avoid this infection and measures to take when cats have the infection will be explored in this webinar. The webinar will also provide an update on heartworm infection in the US, where resistance to heartworm preventives is evolving while researchers seek to understand the factors that led to the genesis of resistance and new solutions, whilst heartworm infection continues to spread. The implications that climate change may have on the epidemiology of heartworm disease will be explored.
