KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE EVENT

There is a need to continue raising awareness around vector-borne diseases among physicians and veterinary practitioners.

Cross-disciplinary collaboration is essential to implement a “One Health” approach.

Vets need to educate pet owners about the importance of protecting with year-round treatments against parasites transmitting diseases.

Due to the increased activity and geographical range of vectors, year-round parasite protection for companion animals has become increasingly important in most regions.

Humans, animals and the environment — our health is all connected

When the health of one is at risk, the health of all may be at risk. Our increasing vulnerability to new health challenges has led to a focus on “One Health” – an approach that recognises the interconnection between the health of people, animals and their shared environment.
