ParaVet is a web-based resource centre for veterinarians who are interested
in or working on parasite management and drench resistance on New Zealand’s
farms. It provides a range of useful resources including
a discussion forum where members can debate important issues like refugia,
use of long-acting anthelmintics and parasite control regimes;
access to a collection of papers and documents not readily available
elsewhere;
practice newsletter material and other resources to assist practitioners;
accepted protocols and reporting tools for Faecal Egg Counts;
an abstract service providing summaries of important new papers and
information on related topics;
easy links to related sites like SciQuest, Wormwise and WormBoss.
ParaVet has retained the services of Dr Ian Sutherland, a parasitologist who
has worked in New Zealand for several years, to facilitate discussion and
provide scientific integrity. ParaVet has been developed by NQVS.
