Tackling Tough Topics: Resistance in Canine Parasitology
1.0 CE Credit Hour / Veterinarians & Veterinary Technicians
Overview:
Anthelmintic resistance has been described in several important dog parasites, including hookworm and Dipylidium caninum tapeworms. The presentation will examine our current understanding of these resistant parasites. Additionally, important clinical implications—including information about diagnostic options, treatment considerations, and potential future opportunities—will be explored.
Learning Objectives:
- Review our current understanding of resistance in hookworm and tapeworm.
- Understand the clinical implications of resistance in these parasites.
- Develop an understanding of diagnostic and therapeutic implications of these resistant parasites.
