Disease Detection, Discrimination, and Dogs: A Conversation on the Roles of and Challenges Confronting Specially Trained Canines for One Health Work

Please join Pete Coppolillo, Ph.D., Executive Director of Working Dogs for Conservation (WD4C), for an interactive conversation about dogs detecting diseases in humans and wildlife. Pete will discuss WD4C’s current and past health work (e.g., projects on Ebolavirus, brucellosis, chronic wasting disease, SARS-CoV-2, and Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae) and lessons learned, and will share some thoughts on developing robust approaches to future disease work. This will be an interactive conversation that will hopefully lead to new research questions and collaborations.

First come, first served pizza and soft drinks c/o the Cornell Duffield Institute for Animal Behavior!
