CONTENT DESCRIPTION

Equine Piroplasmosis has been a long-standing and historically important transboundary disease for decades.   However, recent advances in diagnostics, treatment, epidemiology, and genomic analysis have paved the way for a new understanding and management of a very old disease.  This module consisting of an interactive lecture followed by case-discussions delivers historic background and critically important information on the disease with in-depth discussion of the most recent discoveries, including a newly identified organism, a shift in epidemiology and recognized transmission, and breakthroughs in treatment and elimination of the carrier state.

Sally DeNotta is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and is a member of the clinical faculty at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. Originally from the rural Oregon coast, she spent time in private practice in Oregon and Colorado before completing an internal medicine residency and PhD at Cornell University. 

She joined the UF faculty in 2018, where her clinical interests include equine infectious disease and clinical neurology. When not in the hospital, she is the UF equine veterinary extension specialist, acting as the liaison between the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Florida horse industry. 

She also currently serves as the Chair of the AAEP Infectious Disease Committee.
