Saturday, November 17 – 6:55 p.m. - 8:35 p.m.

Robert MacKay, BVSc, PhD, DACVIM Professor, Large Animal Clinical Sciences and Internal Medicine, University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a fascinating disease to study. It is also a frustrating and humbling disease to treat. Since its first recognition in the 1960s, research and clinical progress on EPM has stumbled forward in fits and starts. There have been discoveries of pivotal importance, to be sure, including the isolation and identification of the causative agent, Sarcocystis neurona, and the solving of that organism’s life cycle. There also have been numerous false starts, blind alleys, “miracle” cures and outbreaks of abject quackery. New agents continue to be studied, horse’s immune systems continue to be stimulated, and miracles wait just beyond the horizon.

These lectures will bring together the best available evidence from the last four decades of research to provide an accurate and comprehensive account of where we are in biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of EPM.
