More than 1,000 people registered for the “Understanding EHV-1: Knowledge Is Contagious” webinar event presented by EQUUS magazine. The entire session, held live online on May 26, can be downloaded at no charge from the magazine’s online home on Equisearch.com. EQUUS magazine’s medical editor, Joe Bertone, DVM, MS, DACVIM, fielded questions from participants regarding the latest outbreak as well as providing expert perspective on the virus. Bertone, a professor of equine medicine at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California and long time contributor to EQUUS, recently became the magazine’s medical editor. He specializes in pharmacology and is currently researching the effect of medications on equine physiology. He received his master of veterinary clinical sciences from Colorado State University and his veterinary degree from Cornell University.

“This was a terrific opportunity not only to provide the facts and a bigger picture view of the EHV-1 outbreak, but also for our new medical editor to connect directly with readers,” said EQUUS Associate Publisher Bob Kliner. “Dr. Bertone’s involvement in the webinar reflects his contributions to our publication. He presents the latest medical research, the practical aspects critical to horse owners and a perspective gleaned from decades in the industry.”
