Clinical Connections  –  Spring 2020

Two ºÚÁÏÉç dermatologists, Dr Anette Loeffler and Professor Ross Bond, have collaborated with the World Association for Veterinary Dermatology on commissioning an open-access series of clinical consensus guidelines that address major topics in clinical practice.

Anette co-authored ‘’  (Vet Dermatol.), published in June 2017, alongside  (DOI: 10.1111/vde.12440). These guidelines are especially timely as MRSP emerges as a threat to animal health.

More recently, Ross chaired the development of , published in January 2020, alongside demodicosis guidelines (DOI: 10.1111/vde.12806).

Ross commented: “It was a complete blast to collaborate with a fantastic panel of fellow Malassezia enthusiasts who worked tirelessly to put this review together [Dan Morris, USA; Jacques Guillot, Emmanuel Bensignor, France; Rui Kano, Japan; Peter Hill, David Robson, Ken Mason, Australia]. Whilst the full text provides detailed background on the biology (DOI: 10.1111/vde.12809), the short summary version (DOI: 10.1111/vde.12834) should appeal to students and busy practitioners.”

Anette and Ross also contributed to the series of 29 WAVD webinars that encompass a wide array of important topics in veterinary dermatology, presented in 2019 (free access at ).
