This event is approved through the American Association of Veterinary State Board’s Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE) for 2.5 hours and hosted through the Webinar Vets platform.

“Many external factors impacting society have contributed to spread of vector borne diseases, making the One Health approach more important now than ever,” said Fernando Riaza Carcamo, vice president, global marketing, MSD Animal Health. “Our company is committed to improving the health of people and animals that share our complex and ever-changing environment through the discovery and development of preventative solutions for existing and emerging diseases.”

According to the World Health Organization, vector-borne diseases account for an estimated 17% of the global burden of all infectious diseases.2 In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 60% of known infectious diseases in people can be spread from animals—through direct or indirect contact, vectors, food, and water.3 Research has shown that 75% of new or emerging infectious diseases in people come from animals.4

The event will take place on Wednesday, March 2, 2022. and those interested in attending can register here.
