CONTENT DESCRIPTION
The lecture on 'Parasitic Diseases in Horses' gives a broad overview on larval cyathostominosis, small intestinal ascarid impactions, tapeworm-associated colic, and non-strangulating intestinal infarction. It will summarize the scientific evidence behind each of these clinical syndromes and their risk factors, pathophysiology and briefly touch on treatment protocols and often expressed concerns when treating parasitized horses with effective larvicidal anthelmintics.
Dr. Nielsen graduated with his DVM degree from the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, Denmark in 2001. He spent three years in equine veterinary practice before joining graduate school.
