Controllab’s free training covered the identification of hemoparasites, blood smear analysis, and clinico-laboratory correlation in routine veterinary practice.
The interpretation of hemoparasitosis in animals remains one of the main challenges in veterinary clinical pathology. Careful examination of blood smears, combined with clinical data correlation, is essential for achieving an accurate diagnosis.
A well-analyzed smear can prevent errors, reduce rework, and support safer clinical decisions. Therefore, mastering this step is crucial in laboratory routines.
With this focus, Controllab hosted the Online Meeting “Diagnostic Investigation of Hemoparasitosis in Animals”, bringing together professionals seeking greater confidence in interpretation.
What Was Covered in the Class
Led by Dr. Aline Moreira de Souza — veterinarian, full professor at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at UFF, lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Pathology since 2009, and coordinator of LABHUVET/UFF since 2012 — the class presented a practical and up-to-date approach to the topic.
The content ranged from the main hemoparasites in animals to key aspects of pathophysiology, also covering:
- Main hemoparasites, pathophysiology, clinical signs, and laboratory findings
- Diagnostic methods and blood smear analysis
- Advances in serological and molecular testing, highlighting their limitations
- Proper interpretation of results, considering that IgG indicates prior exposure, not active infection
- The importance of correlating clinical presentation, patient history, and laboratory tests for a reliable diagnosis
Practical Application: Why Does This Content Matter?
More than a review of concepts, the class reinforced the strategic role of the laboratory in clinical decision-making. Correct interpretation of results reduces uncertainty and increases the reliability of reports.
With a strong practical focus, participants understood how details directly impact diagnosis, contributing to safer and more accurate performance in routine veterinary practice.
Participants highlighted how the class addresses a real need in the field, bridging the gap between theory and practice in veterinary medicine.
