## Description
VMD Self-Service Direct Award.
The VMD seeks to address a critical evidence gap relating to the potential re-emergence of equine large strongyles in the UK equine population. The lack of UK-specific data on equine large strongyle occurrence, alongside uncertainty in diagnostic interpretation, limits the sector’s ability to assess the current significance of this parasite and determine how it should be considered within evidence-based parasite control guidance, including the role and optimisation of diagnostic testing.
