Online Lecture – Consult with Prof. Derek Knottenbelt: Equine Sarcoids – A common disease, but how well do we really understand it? (Part 2) (Recorded October 2020)

CONTENT DESCRIPTION

Sarcoids are the most common tumour in horses by far and affect all equid species in all parts of the world. Sarcoids are a persistent cause of significant legal wrangles between owners and veterinarians, particularly in relation to pre-purchase examinations. The main problem with sarcoids is that we do not understand either its aetiopathogenesis nor its epidemiology. This lecture reviews the classification of sarcoids, epidemiological aspects, diagnosis and control of the disease. Finally, we will try to explain why there are over 40 recognised sarcoid treatments...

Derek qualified from Edinburgh University in 1970 and after a period in research, spent 12 years in private practice. During this time he developed a keen interest in equine medicine and in 1985 he joined the academic world. Derek moved to Liverpool in 1989 and has since become Professor in Equine Internal Medicine. He has published widely in the scientific and lay press and is the author of 10 recognised text books. Derek has received international awards for his welfare work, his science and in 2005 he was honoured with an OBE by the Queen for his services to the horse. He is involved with national and international equine welfare and other charities. Derek's main professional interests are in oncology, dermatology, ophthalmology and wound management.
