Master of Veterinary Medicine now open to international veterinariansSource: Until now, the programme has only been available extramurally to New Zealand citizens working abroad, but Director of the Master of Veterinary Medicine, Dr Liz Norman, says that by 2012 the University hopes to offer 24 papers in four majors: companion animal, production animal, equine and business administration. Dr Norman says few institutions offer this sort of programme or its equivalent. “Enquiries we receive indicate that many veterinarians have an innate drive to continually learn, but balancing education with their often busy lives is problematic. We’ve designed our flexible distance programmes to offer in depth study in a supported environment led by internationally renowned experts. Students can extend themselves, their reputation and their practice by studying in their own place, at their own pace and at times which suit them.” Brucella melitensis in Eurasia and the Middle EastFAO Animal Production and Health Division Proceedings Read more ...

AVMA and WebMD join forces to offer online pet informationSource: "The AVMA is concerned about the vast amount of misinformation about pet health that can be found on the Internet," explains Dr. Larry R. Corry, president of the AVMA. "Through this collaboration with an established and respected resource, we hope to give pet owners an opportunity to get accurate, sound advice about animals in general and, more specifically, about their pets." More than 20 veterinary Guest Experts are involved in the Healthy Pets Exchange to date. The Guest Experts encourage discussion and help owners ask the right questions of their pet's veterinarian to open a dialogue that can lead to the most appropriate diagnosis and treatments for their pets. "The Pet Health Exchange will help pet owners keep up to date on pet information about their pet's health, so they can provide the very best care for their animals," says Dr. Corry. "But no online community, no matter how well it is done, can ever be a substitute for the relationship between veterinarians and their clients." The link to the new Pet Health Exchange is on the upper right on the www.webmd.com, and you can also visit the new WebMD Health Pet Exchange directly at http://exchanges.webmd.com/pet-health-exchange. For any other information about veterinary medicine, please visit www.avma.org. Cattle drug may help tackle river blindnessSource: Doctors currently treat river blindness with ivermectin, a drug that kills the microfillariae and lowers the fertility of the adult worms. Ivermectin has slashed cases of blindness and lesions in countries like Senegal and Mali. But ivermectin doesn't target the nearly-mature worms that cause new infections from a black fly's bite. Instead, the drug controls the symptoms until the worms eventually die out. Scientists are still searching for a compound that would block infection altogether, for example by killing the adolescent worms upon arrival.
