Mary’s research interests include vector-borne and emerging infectious diseases, particularly canine and feline leishmaniasis. Currently, she is a member of the WSAVA Vaccination Guidelines Group (VGG), the Co-Chair of the Scientific Committee of WSAVA, a member of the AFSCAN Project Board, and a member of the Companion Vector-Borne Diseases (CVBD) World Forum. She continues an active programme of delivering continuing education in vaccinology and management of vector-borne infectious diseases in Latin America.

The webinar will cover the types of vaccines, classification of vaccines as core and non-core, the reasoning behind the use of multiple vaccines in primary vaccination of puppies and kittens related to the blocking effects of maternally-derived antibody (MDA) against vaccine antigens, revaccination protocols based on the duration of immunity (DOI) and the use of serological testing to assist with decision making on vaccination (whether a pup has responded to primary vaccination, whether an animal that has previously suffered an adverse reaction to vaccination requires revaccination, to determine the best vaccination protocol for an adult dog with ‘lapsed’ vaccination or of unknown vaccination history) and to reduce vaccine load in an individual animal.
