for a Dinner Meeting and Lecture
Dr. Edward Wakem will present:
“Feline Calicivirus”
The recent emergence of novel and highly contagious hypervirulent strains of Feline Calicivirus, resistant to commonly used vaccines, has refocused attention on this highly adaptable and persistent pathogen. We will review the characteristics of this mutatable virus and its epidemiology with a focus on biological risk management within the veterinary health care setting. Also discussed will be the diagnosis and pathology of acute and chronic typical disease as well as the hypervirulent presentation. A review of vaccine research and development leading to prevention strategies utilizing a newly licensed multivalent vaccine will be offered. The information in this presentation will aid the practicing veterinarian in risk assessment, diagnosis and control of feline calicivirus disease.
