Barred Owls, Lemur Frogs, and Rabbits, Oh My!
Using Next-Generation Sequencing to Characterize the Health of Zoological Species at the Individual and Population Levels
Live Webinar | Free CE
Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) are reshaping how veterinarians and researchers assess health, disease dynamics, and microbial communities across diverse zoological species. In this webinar, we explore how sequencing-based diagnostics can provide actionable insight at both the individual patient and population levels—particularly in cases where traditional diagnostics fall short.
Join MiDOG Animal Diagnostics and the Southern California Veterinary Medical Association for a live educational webinar featuring real-world applications of NGS in zoological and wildlife medicine, spanning avian, amphibian, and mammalian species.
