Defra to host bluetongue webinar for vets
Since November 2023, more than 100 bluetongue cases have been confirmed in England.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) will be hosting a webinar for veterinary professionals on bluetongue on Thursday, 25 April 2024.
Topics covered will include the transmission cycle, pathology and pathogenesis, clinical signs (including signs seen in recent BTV-3 cases in the Netherlands), and control and prevention.
The session, which will take place from 6pm to 7.30pm, is part of Defra’s ‘Plan, Prevent and Protect’ webinar series, which are hosted by policy officials, epidemiologists and veterinary professionals from Defra and the Animal and Plant Health Agency. The bluetongue session will also feature insights from experts from The Pirbright Institute.
Those attending will have the opportunity to ask questions. Places on the webinar can be booked online.
