The University of Kentucky Gluck Equine Research Center will host a one-day symposium titled the “Role of Immunology in Equine Health” on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Embassy Suites in Lexington.

This symposium will focus on the immune system’s role in equine diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Researchers will present information on the immune response to equine arteritis virus, respiratory disorders, parasitism, skin diseases, and immune changes in foals. Factors affecting the immune response to vaccines will also be presented.

The symposium is targeted toward veterinarians, regulatory officials, farm managers, and breed registry representatives.

The symposium is partially funded by a USDA-NIFA-AFRI (United States Department of Agriculture- National Institute of Food and Agriculture-Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) grant titled "Identification of genetic factors responsible for establishment of equine arteritis virus carrier state in stallions." However, registration is required and the event costs $25. To register, visit https://immunologysymposium.eventbrite.com
