Last Tuesday, we hosted the highly anticipated event, “Parasites on the Move in Europe: Which Novel Parasite is Coming to a Consulting Room Table Near You?”, and it was nothing short of remarkable! With 569 live attendees from 45 countries, this event brought together veterinary professionals from across the globe to explore the evolving challenges in parasitology.

Tackling Emerging Parasitology Challenges

The webinar series provided an in-depth look into the shifting dynamics of parasitology in Europe, focusing on critical topics such as:

• The effects of climate change on European parasites.

• The implications of dog relocation and how it contributes to the spread of parasites.

• The increasing role of vectors, including ticks, and the rising impact of vector-borne diseases like leishmaniosis.

Veterinary surgeons and students alike gained valuable insights into how these factors are reshaping parasite dynamics, helping them prepare for new challenges in their consulting rooms.
