A comprehensive update on the current status of feline parasitic and vector-borne diseases, including cases of emerging imported diseases"

Climate change, displacements and new diagnostic techniques are favoring the emergence of many diseases in areas where previously there were no reports, especially those diseases caused by external parasites and, in the case of vector-borne diseases, transmitted by some of them.

A complete and thorough review of all those diseases caused by parasites is needed: clinical signs, diagnostic techniques, zoonotic potential, and public health considerations.  

In this postgraduate certificate, we will delve into the most common parasitosis and vectorial diseases in the feline species, as well as into some less frequent but equally important ones.
