On March 10, 2016, we had the pleasure of organizing a seminar in collaboration with Bionote at the University Putra Malaysia (UPM). The seminar, titled “One Health Perspectives on Toxoplasma and Giardia,” featured three esteemed speakers who shared their knowledge and insights on these significant zoonotic diseases.
Speakers:
Prof. Dr. Rohela binti Mahmud, MBBS (UM), MPH
Dr. Reuben Sunil Kumar Sharma, DVM, MVSc, PhD, PRSB, Cbiol
Dr. Bohae Kang, DVM, MS
The speakers delved into the importance of a One Health approach, highlighting the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health in managing Toxoplasma and Giardia infections. Their presentations offered a comprehensive understanding of the diagnostic and preventive strategies necessary for these diseases, which can impact both humans and animals.
We are grateful to our speakers for their engaging and informative talks, and to all who attended the seminar. This event underscored our commitment to advancing veterinary knowledge and fostering collaboration between veterinarians and healthcare professionals.
