On 7–8 June 2019, the Tropical Council for Companion Animal Parasites (TroCCAP), in association with the Kenya Small and Companion Animal Veterinary Association (KESCAVA), organized a workshop in Nairobi on recent advances in parasitic diseases of companion animals.

Prof. Andrei Daniel Mihalca contributed through both lectures and practical training sessions, including:

  • Blood examination for parasites (smear techniques, buffy coat, Knott's test)

  • Extra-intestinal helminths of dogs and cats: lungworms and filaria

  • Fecal examination methods (direct smears, flotation, sedimentation, larvoscopic techniques)

  • Case study discussions with participants

The workshop was hosted at the Small Animal Clinic Seminar Room, University of Nairobi, and combined theoretical lectures with extensive laboratory practice.
