The workshop will take place on Thursday 20 October at BCVA Congress.
Workshop to take place at BCVA Congress.

Delegates at the British Cattle Veterinary Association (BCVA) Congress will have the opportunity to attend a workshop on Q Fever, hosted by Ceva Animal Health.

Q Fever, a zoonotic disease that is often under-diagnosed, affects reproductive performance and productivity in cattle. 

Professor Raphaël Guatteo, expert on Q Fever from the veterinary college of Nantes (Oniris) in France, will present the workshop to raise veterinary awareness of the prevalence and impact of the disease. 

Professor Guatteo will share his research on the disease, and will discuss case studies, diagnostic challenges and the need for quick diagnosis, treatment options and prevention of Q Fever through vaccination.

Presenting a health threat to farmers, farming families, veterinary professionals and abattoir workers, Q Fever can be misunderstood and under-diagnosed. Professor Guatteo will be available to answer any questions delegates may have on the topic.

The workshop will take place on Thursday 20 October between 4pm and 5.30pm in the Shorthorn Room at the Hilton Metropole.. 

Delegates are able to attend the workshop free-of-charge, although spaces are limited. 

BCVA Congress is set to take place between 20 – 22 October at the Hilton Metropole, Birmingham.
