Season 2, Episode 6
Show notes
If you haven’t learned to pronounce Theileria, it’s time! ("TIE-leer-ee-uh" (thī-ˈlir-ē-ə).
Way-more-important though are the facts around the disease itself!
This is a longer EAHAO podcast - clocking in at just a tick over 14 minutes. But each minute is worth it as guest Dr. Gregg Hanzlicek* provides the latest information on the disease threatening thousands of cattle, their owners, and of course, those who care for the health of the herds.
Medgene Cattle Team member, Mike Steilen conducted the interview in July of 2026, asking the questions so many are wondering, but don’t have the opportunity to ask.
Please share/forward with veterinarians and cattle producers alike.
*Dr. Hanzlicek is the Assoc. Director of the Kansas Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (KVDL).
