Angiostrongylus vasorum is a nematode parasite of the pulmonary arteries and heart that infects domestic and wild canids. Dogs (Canis familiaris) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are the most commonly affected definitive hosts. Recent studies suggest th...

Veterinary Parasitology Teaching at London – Meeting the ‘Day-One Competency’ Needs of New Veterinarians (2018)
Journal Article
Fox, M. T., Blake, D. P., & Jacobs, D. E. (2018). Veterinary Parasitology Teaching at London – Meeting the ‘Day-One Competency’ Needs of New Veterinarians. Veterinary Parasitology, 254, 131-134. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetpar.2018.01.029

Over the past four decades, there has been an exponential increase in veterinary parasitology knowledge, coinciding with the advent of molecular biology in research. Therefore, it is unrealistic for teachers to expect students to graduate with an enc...
