Molecular Allergology: The Future of Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy

• Specialty: Immunotherapy
• Speaker: Thierry Olivry, DrVet, PhD, DECVD, DACVD
• Sponsor: Nextmune
• RACE-approved: 1.00 CE Credit Hour

The detection of IgE sensitizations, be it by intradermal or serological testing, and the design of the ensuing immunotherapy formulations have relied for decades on the use of allergen extracts. In humans, IgE testing—and the ongoing immunotherapy research—have begun to rely on the use of individual allergen molecules or components. In this lecture, the participants will be introduced to the advantages of molecular allergology and to the Pet Allergy Xplorer, the new IgE serological macroarray that uses molecular components.

Understanding Parasite Prevention

• Specialty: Parasitology

This seminar will highlight the clinical and zoonotic implications of intestinal parasites, and the importance of programs to protect our pets and society. The seminar will also present information on heartworm preventives, resistance, and methods of preventive administration.
