More recently, Ross chaired the development of , published in January 2020, alongside demodicosis guidelines (DOI: 10.1111/vde.12806).
Ross commented: “It was a complete blast to collaborate with a fantastic panel of fellow Malassezia enthusiasts who worked tirelessly to put this review together [Dan Morris, USA; Jacques Guillot, Emmanuel Bensignor, France; Rui Kano, Japan; Peter Hill, David Robson, Ken Mason, Australia]. Whilst the full text provides detailed background on the biology (DOI: 10.1111/vde.12809), the short summary version (DOI: 10.1111/vde.12834) should appeal to students and busy practitioners.”
Anette and Ross also contributed to the series of 29 WAVD webinars that encompass a wide array of important topics in veterinary dermatology, presented in 2019 (free access at ).
