Episode description
Fleur, EIDS epidemiologist, provides an overview of the 2023 Q4 Equine Quarterly Disease Surveillance Report Focus Article, authored by Jose Vazquez-Boland and his team at the University of Edinburgh. Given how we’ve managed R. equi infections over the years, it's not surprising that we're now confronted with a troubling silent pandemic of multi-resistance. Eradicating it once it establishes itself in a country will prove immensely challenging, emphasising the critical importance of surveillance contributions within the UK. Discover how you can play a part in making a difference.
