John Pringle

Over the past decade has  focussed on infectious  diseases of the horse, including pathphysiology of european Anaplasma phagocytophilum, relationship of low  virulent viruses on health and athletic performance,  and on host pathogen   relationship of Streptococcus equi ssp zooepidemicus and Streptococcus equi ssp equi 

Has taught most topics in relation to large animals internal medicine concerning  equine and  ruminants in Canada, the USA.  Since relocating to Sweden teaching activities have been limited to topics largely related to equine  diseases.  Currently  teach in the 4th and 5th years of  the veterinary  program in the subject of clinical  diagnosis and responsible for expertise and  education in most of the infectious  diseases of the horse. Also serves as research supervisor and advisor, as well as examiner for final year  veterinary thesis projects. 

Currently completed a major  research team focus funded by FORMAS  to  investigate methods and understandings needed to eradicate the disease "strangles" caused by Streptococcus equi ssp equi from  horses populations in Sweden.
