Emerging Ehrlichiosis with AMRRIC: On Demand
Have you considered the potential for Ehrlichia canis in your region? It’s not only northern Australia on high alert.
Ehrlichiosis is a nationally notifiable disease. If you work within the geographical range of the brown dog tick or see rescue dogs or pets from other regions, E. canis could already be circulating in your district.
In collaboration with Dr Bonny Cumming from Animal Management in Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities (AMRRIC), VetPrac is delighted to bring you Emeritus Professor Peter Irwin and Dr John Beadle for a two-part online series concerning the impact, diagnosis, and treatment of ehrlichiosis in dogs.
This short course features real cases presented by vets who have worked with E. canis since the disease appeared in 2020. Sessions were recorded live in 2022, and all profits from your registration go directly to AMRRIC.
Does ehrlichiosis concern you?
- Non-specific presentation with a range of clinical signs
- Doxycycline may not be 100% effective
- New studies confirm expansion in the geographical range of the brown dog tick
- The brown dog tick is adapted to living in buildings and kennels – it’s not a bush tick
- Common tick prophylaxis protocols may not be enough to prevent this disease

COURSE OUTLINE
Module 1 – Enter Ehrlichia canis
In the first of our two-part series on E. canis, AMRRIC’s Dr Bonny Cumming introduces ehrlichiosis as a population health issue in rural Australia, and one which has much wider implications for indigenous culture and One Health. Bonny is joined by Emeritus Professor and canine medicine specialist Peter Irwin. He explains what the range and habits of the brown dog tick mean for dogs in urban Australia, and which clinical signs should prompt you to consider ehrlichiosis.
Module 2 – Real ehrlichiosis cases for real vets
The second session is presented by Dr John Beadle from All Creatures Veterinary Hospital in Broome. Dr Beadle brings clinical cases for discussion, and extensive experience dealing with ehrlichiosis. Dr Beadle shares some of the less common presentations of the disease, and is a spirited and entertaining speaker. This is a great way to get the information you need to prepare for ehrlichiosis in your practice.

Your Questions Answered
What is “On Demand”?
How and when do I access learning materials?
We use a one-stop learning platform for our web-based courses. It’s intuitive, simple and easy to navigate, and we’ll email login details to you as soon as your purchase is confirmed. You can access notes, recordings and resources any time of day or night via your personalised course library. You don’t have to watch a whole video in one sitting, and you’re in complete control.
How long is course access open?
24/7 access is available for 6 months via your course library, starting on your purchase date. For example, if you sign up on July 1st, your access will be open until January 1st the following year. We’ve chosen 6 months because veterinary medicine moves fast and our goal is to provide up to date learning materials to the VetPrac community. The education team will assess, review and update the course at the end of the subscription period. This way, we know we’re offering only current and relevant information.
What kind of learning materials are included?
Each course is different but they all include video presentations recorded live during our most popular online courses and webinars. Our educators may provide a variety of other resources, so you can expect images, diagrams, course notes, slide presentations, journal articles, links to further reading, and more.
Is there learning support available?
Of course! We’ll stay in touch with a monthly email to check in with you, and share important information with you. We’ll also remind you when your access is about to finish. If you need a hand (or if you just want to chat) our online learning team is available via email [email protected] or on 0491 943 260.
Are there assessments to complete?
Yes, but they’re not mandatory. At the end of the course there will be multiple-choice questions available through the learning platform. You’ll need to pass these to receive your CPD certificate.
Will I get CPD points and a CPD certificate?
Each registration is worth a specified number of CPD points. Once you complete the quiz questions at the end of the course, a certificate will be generated and emailed to you. The certificate will be issued in the name of the person listed on the registration form.
What happens when time runs out?
At the end of 6 months, your subscription will end. You’ll still be able to log in to your course library, but the On Demand course you’ve completed will disappear from the list of courses available to you. You will receive an email when you are nearing the end of your access period, so you can download any resources you need for future use.
