Webinar – 4/24/20 – COVID-19 – A Virologist’s Perspective for Veterinarians – AVMA

April 24, 2020 @ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM PDT
With each passing day, we are learning more and more about the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19. As veterinary clinicians and clinician-scientists, many of us are interested in learning more about the virus and its potential effect on our veterinary patients.
Join us to hear the perspectives of these researchers as they address important questions regarding the ongoing pandemic, including:

  • How do viruses “jump” between animals or from animals to people?
  • What made this coronavirus so successful in establishing a pandemic?
  • What are the advances in antiviral therapy against SARS CoV-2?
  • What are some details regarding diagnostic tests currently available and the status of those under development?
The following experts from the Baker Institute for Animal Health will be hosting a live chat:

  • Colin Parrish, PhD/ John M. Olin Professor of Virology
  • Dr. Luis Schang, MV, PhD/ Professor of Chemical Virology
  • John S. L. Parker, BVMS, PhD/ Associate Professor of Virology
  • Diego Diel, DVM, MS, PhD / Associate Professor of Virology

Also joining will be special guest Dr. Bruce Kornreich, Director of the Cornell Feline Health Center.

The panel will be moderated by Dr. Scott Coonrod, Director of the Baker Institute for Animal Health, Dr. Gerlinde Van de Walle, and Postdoctoral Associate Brian Wasik.
