Research Update: Sustainable Parasite Control (Lower Hall)
In this presentation, Drs. Borkowski and Evered will present an update on their ongoing work to help Ontario goat farmers sustainably manage parasitic worms. We will highlight key findings from our 2022 study on worm species in Ontario and preliminary results from our 2023 project on immune responses to parasites.

Emma obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at the Ontario Veterinary College in 2015. She became board certified in Anatomic Pathology in 2018 and completed her PhD in 2019. Her PhD work assessed immunity to gastrointestinal parasites in sheep. Following graduation she moved to England and joined the University of Surrey as a Teaching Fellow in Anatomic Pathology.
