Bio: Mason ReichardMason Reichard, M. S., Ph. D. is an Associate Professor of Veterinary Parasitology at Oklahoma State University. Dr. Reichard is active in teaching veterinary parasitology and maintains a research program that focuses on zoonotic and tick-borne diseases of wild and domestic animals. He received a B. S. in Biology from Central Michigan University, M. S. in Biology from Northern Michigan University, and a Ph. D. in Veterinary Biomedical Science from Oklahoma State University
Program Details: Both dogs and cats are hosts for various arthropods that vector disease agents. In addition to their ability to transmit infectious agents, arthropod vectors have painful bites that annoy their hosts and infestations can result in pruritus, dermatitis, anemia, secondary bacterial infection, and possibly death. Some of these same arthropod vectors of dogs and cats also infest humans and are capable of transmitting zoonotic disease agents. The purpose of this lecture will be to review the most common arthropod vectors and the disease agents they transmit to dogs and cats. Integrated management strategies will be discussed that can be used to control and prevent arthropod vectors and the infectious disease agents they transmit.
