West Nile Virus in Camelids and Other Differentials
Saturday, October 23, 2021 - Saturday, October 23, 2021
West Nile Virus (WNV) is a leading cause of mosquito-borne viral diseases in the United States. This is a progressive disease that is seen to largely affect horses and humans but has also been known to infect camelids. While vaccinations have not yet been developed specifically for camelids, research points toward the possibility of using the equine vaccine for camelids. This discussion aims to briefly describe WNW, highlight current research, and list other diseases that may look like WNV. Questions will be gladly answered afterward.
Presented by Dr. Jennifer Sexton who is currently a clinician at Washington State University, in Ag Animal Medicine Surgery. She completed an internship and residency in Farm Animal Internal Medicine at the University of Tennessee, after graduating with her DVM from Purdue University.
