Description

A little over a decade ago I presented a webinar discussing emerging parasite threats in the UK and what might emerge in the coming decade. This webinar will look back at what new parasites have emerged in the past decade, the factors driving parasite spread and what we might expect in the decade to come.

Learning Objectives

• To consider the factors driving changes in parasite distributions and disease risk
• To review new parasite arrivals in the UK, the issues they cause and whether they are likely to establish here.
• To examine parasites that have not yet arrived bu are likely to in the future
• To consider which parasites arrived which were not expected and why.
• To examine prevention strategies and surveillance for exotic parasites entering the UK.
