On Demand | The future of small animal disease surveillance in Australia: opportunities and challenges 1 CPD Points

Overview

How do small animals currently fit into the animal disease surveillance landscape in Australia? Are we prepared to respond to emerging small animal diseases? AVPH invites you to join our expert speakers to explore what structures currently exist for small animal disease surveillance in Australia, what exists internationally that we might want to replicate and how surveillance might benefit us in terms of both animal and human outcomes. Three case studies will be presented - the first outlining the investigation of indospicine toxicity in Victoria; the second exploring work that was performed to scope surveillance of antimicrobial use in small animals and the third a deep dive into the recent ehrlichiosis outbreak and AMRRIC's ongoing work to improve companion animal surveillance in partnership with Indigenous communities.
