An Update on Vector-Borne Diseases of Dogs and Cats

Despite the wide variety of flea and tick (acaricide and insecticide) products available on the market, vector-borne diseases (VBD) remain a concern for companion animals in Australia, and not solely in the tropical north. In this webinar I will provide an update on the most important VBD of dogs and cats, with special reference to canine ehrlichiosis, a relatively new disease for us to manage in Australia. The presentation will include information about diagnosis and treatment, as well as a discussion about appropriate preventive measures. 

This program has been approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval. 

The accreditation of CE Points is approved under the condition of a positive completion of the test in the specified period and is valid until 19 Auguest 2026.
