A complete update in the Prevention and Management of Infectious Pathologies in Small Animals, with the most interesting developments in the sector” 

The World Health Organization has recently reiterated: ''prevention is better than cure''. In the 21st century, the focus of medicine is changing. Until a few decades ago, the predominant approach was curative medicine as opposed to preventive medicine, which focused on the diagnosis and treatment of established diseases. However, at this time, both coexist in a complementary way, and thanks to the design of a program based on prophylactic measures developed by the scientific community, preventive medicine is being consolidated due to its great relevance in the health of all living beings.

Knowledge in Prevention and Management of Infectious Pathologies in Small Animals is essential due to multiple factors: the increasingly close contact of humans with companion animals, as well as the existence of zoonotic diseases of bidirectional transmission between both species, in addition to the fact that climate change is already a reality.

This not only implies a destruction of the environment and an increase in global temperature, but also greater globalization in terms of the distribution and transmission of diseases.

Therefore, the One Health concept has acquired a crucial role in the health of living beings. It is in our hands to deepen in the necessary knowledge to preserve the health of animals and, consequently, that of human beings.

Throughout the topics that make up this program, we will not only compile and develop the latest recommendations published on this subject, but we will also provide a practical response to situations that are not so conventional, but highly prevalent in day-to-day clinical practice.
