Avian pathology lecture by Dr. Leslie Woods
by Bruce Williams May 22, 2020

May 22, 2020

You asked for it - you got it! On May 22 at 12PM EDT, our "Free Friday Seminar" was on avian pathology. Our speaker was Professor Leslie Woods of the University of Califonia at Davis, who spoke on "My Favorite Avian Diseases. - (with a short introduction on virulent Newcastle disease by Paco Uzal) “My Favorite Avian Diseases” includes a potpourri of infectious, nutritional and toxic diseases of poultry and companion birds emphasizing gross and microscopic characteristics of the diseases. Diseases with similar gross pathological changes are compared, with distinguishing microscopic features discussed. Some may not even be distinguished microscopically and require ancillary testing for definitive diagnoses of the diseases and as a special added bonus, a brief description of the gross lesions of virulent Newcastle disease is presented by Foundation President Paco Uzal, with emphasis on those lesions that are pathognomonic for the disease and which are used as a screening to call a case compatible or not-compatible with vND. (You know we have had a low-grade outbreak in California for several years now, right?)

May 8 Webinar - "Stories from Zoos and Aquaria"
by Bruce Williams May 1, 2020

May 1, 2020

Make sure you register for our upcoming "Free Friday Seminar" at noon, Friday, 8 May - "Stories and Cases from Zoos and Aquarias" This lecture is sponsored by the Davis-Thompson Foundation will be delivered by Dr. Carlos Rodriguez, DVM, DACVP of Disney Animal Kingdom of Florida. Pathology plays a crucial role within the animal care teams at many zoological institutions and aquaria. Much more than a comprehensive program for disease diagnosis, established zoological pathology programs can shape medical intervention, collection planning, exhibit design, quarantine and risk mitigation protocols, capacity building and can even be an influential driver in many conservation programs. This conference is by no means intended as a comprehensive review of zoo or aquatic pathology but a collection of interesting and unusual cases that highlight the diversity of infectious and non-infectious diseases accrued from over a decade in this incredible field. Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/…/register/WN_c4B2HNbDQyC91W5TM3S1gg <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_c4B2HNbDQyC91W5TM3S1gg?fbclid=I…> After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. This lecture is pre-approved for 1 credit toward ACVP Maintenance of Certification. Due to the large number of attendees, and the fact that this lecture has not accredited for continuing education by the Foundation, certificates of attendance will not be available. <https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10158566519632873&set=gm.1597901890…>
