About the webinar

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the spirochete Leptospira. Despite the availability of vaccines, outbreaks continue to occur in unvaccinated dog populations in the United States. Since the 2023 ACVIM Consensus Statement was published, new recommendations on leptospirosis vaccination and improved understanding of risk factors for leptospirosis and diagnostic test performance have become available. This talk reviews the importance of understanding the difference between reservoir hosts and incidental hosts, how dogs can become infected, what clinical signs that should alert you to leptospirosis, how new diagnostic tests should be used, and the best approaches to treatment and prevention of the disease.

You will be able to join the live webinar directly from this page.
