Congratulations
Congratulations to Katrina Allison and Julia Saturno (both from the Bridle lab), who placed 2nd and 3rd, respectively, in the OVC Summer CORE poster presentation in August.
Dr. Andrew Peregrine has joined the CVMA as one of the expert panelist for the 'Importation of Dogs into Canada Discussed at First National Issues Forum' >> CVMA news
Congratulations to Megan Strachan-Whaley (Bridle lab) and her husband Dave on the
safe arrival of their daughter Evanlina Rae Strachan (6 lbs 13 oz) on Saturday July 16th. Dear Colleagues
The semester is underway, the weather is turning to chilly and wet.
Life wasn't exciting enough with all the business of school, etc. so my family let itself be tempo-rarily adopted by a raccoon. Baylis ascaris and all. There was a ceremony organized by Parks Canada to honour Dr. Schofield recently. The plaque will be installed outside between the PAHL building and Gordon St. Dr. Harold Reed, a retired OVC faculty member in Clini-cal Studies was the sponsor. Courtney Schott, as a recent recipient of the Schofield Scholarship, represented Pathobiology and spoke eloquently on our behalf. Cheers John

Immunity for life—Solving one of the most
harmful diseases in beef cattle By Jeanine Moyer for AgInnovation Ontario
Guelph – Natural selection has enabled all kinds of life forms to adapt to changing environments. Most recently, a University of Guelph professor has harnessed natural variation within the immune system to identify and breed immunity traits to find the healthiest animals. Years of research has led Dr. Bonnie Mallard, pro-fessor and inventor of the High Immune Response (HIR) Technology and the Immunity+ Technology, to develop a testing method to identify animals with natural immunity and enhanced disease re-sistance. >> full article at Ag Innovation Ontario
