CONTENT DESCRIPTION

As vector-borne diseases like West Nile Virus and African Horse Sickness expand into new regions, equine practitioners worldwide are facing unprecedented challenges. This international panel discussion brings together leading infectious disease experts with research and clinical backgrounds from across the globe to explore how these threats are shifting, what they mean for equine health, and what strategies can mitigate the risks. From diagnostics to vaccination and biosecurity, join this global conversation on staying one step ahead of these emerging challenges.

Sally DeNotta is board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and is a member of the clinical faculty at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. Originally from the rural Oregon coast, she spent time in private practice in Oregon and Colorado before completing an internal medicine residency and PhD at Cornell University. 

She joined the UF faculty in 2018, where her clinical interests include equine infectious disease and clinical neurology. When not in the hospital, she is the UF equine veterinary extension specialist, acting as the liaison between the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Florida horse industry. 

She also currently serves as the Chair of the AAEP Infectious Disease Committee.
