Have you heard of Q fever? Catch up on this free informative session about the disease and how it impacts herds and flocks in the UK. We will share our findings and bring forward case information, where herds have been impacted by the disease and are now beginning to take control of the disease through a number of steps, including vaccination and biosecurity measures. Q Fever is a disease caused by infection with the bacterium Coxiella burnetii, which can infect cattle, goats, sheep and many other mammals. Studies on the UK cattle herd indicate that Q fever is highly prevalent. Q fever is zoonotic, with those people in direct contact with ruminants at most risk – This will be a great opportunity for those working with livestock or going onto farms, to get the answers to the many questions that this disease raises. Watch our free webinar which explores the disease behind the “silent troublemaker” that is Coxiella burnetii. Find out how Q-Fever can affect your flock, cattle or goat herds, and some of the challenges with diagnosis and management.

The use of biomarkers is increasingly important in detection of disease in a variety of species, but, to date, these biomarkers are protein-based disease indicators. To truly detect disease at the earliest stage, understanding DNA/RNA expressions, prior to onset of pathology, would be groundbreaking. In this CPD session, Dr Eve Hanks will explore the use of microRNAs for diagnostic purposes and explain how this pioneering new testing technology can benefit your practice with the recent launch of the NEMO Companion Animal Heart Disease test.
