Presentation Description / Summary: This session will cover the most recent scientific developments and discoveries regarding external and internal parasites of livestock and camelids in the United States, including emerging/worsening drug resistance, emerging technologies in diagnostics, use of combination anthelmintic products, and the expansion of transboundary parasite diseases. Strategies for diagnostics and herd management concerning these emerging issues will also be discussed.
Learner Outcomes: 1.Understand emerging and worsening drug resistance in external and internal parasites infecting livestock in North America, and be able to describe how combination anthelmintic use can mitigate or slow resistance. 2. Understand expanding options for diagnostics for endoparasitism in livestock in North America. 3. Understand expanding transboundary parasitic diseases in livestock in North America, and the veterinarian's role (primary care or specialist) in reporting and monitoring of these diseases.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe emerging and worsening drug resistance in external and internal parasites infecting livestock in North America, and be able to describe how combination anthelmintic use can mitigate or slow resistance.
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe expanding options for diagnostics for endoparasitism in livestock in North America.
Upon completion, participant will be able to list expanding transboundary parasitic diseases in livestock in North America, and describe the
veterinarian's role (primary care or specialist) in reporting and monitoring of these diseases.
