Humans and companion animals live close together, and we affect each other’s health in different ways. Bodil Ström Holst tells us more during this semester’s second Worth Knowing lecture.
Relationships between humans and their pets are often strong. We suffer from similar diseases and we humans are also affected when our animals get sick. What we learn about animal diseases benefits people, and vice versa. In this lunch lecture Bodil Ström Holst highlights various aspects of our and our animal’s shared health with different examples.
Bodil Ström Holst is a veterinarian as well as Head of Department and Senior Lecturer at the Department of Clinical Sciences.

Swedish veterinary medicine 250 years
This Worth Knowing lecture is a collaboration with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science and part of the celebration of Swedish veterinary medicine’s 250 year anniversary. This anniversary marks a milestone not only for the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science but for the whole of SLU, as the veterinary school is the oldest part of the university as we know it today. Read more about the celebrations using the link below, and e-mail svm250@slu.se if you have questions about the anniversary.
As part of the celebration several of this year’s Worth Knowing lectures will focus on veterinary medicine.
