Conferencia; 29th International Conference of the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology; 2023

Following the lively discussion in the last WAAVP Conference in Dublin, the WAAVP Guideline Subcommittee (GLSC) has been very active. Suggestions made at the last conference have been considered and the outcomes will be shared. There has been a number of changes in membership of the GLSC, with several new members joining and Standard Operating Procedures have been put in place for internal processes. In addition to considerable progress on the review and updating of older guidelines, most notably the general anthelmintic and ectoparasiticide guidelines, work has begun on new guidelines including assessment of anthelmintics against liver flukes and vaccines as well as a review of the nomenclature guideline. This presentation will begin with a brief overview of considerations given to suggestions, work undertaken in the past two years, future plans and then the floor will be opened for discussion.
