About Emma
Dr. Emma McConnell serves as Senior Lecturer in Equine Medicine within the School of Veterinary Medicine at Murdoch University. She earned her veterinary degree from the University of Edinburgh in 2006 and holds a Master's degree in Veterinary Medicine. Recognized as a Registered Specialist in Equine Medicine, she is also a Diplomate of the European College of Equine Internal Medicine and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. McConnell's professional journey commenced after relocating to the UK in 1999. Post-graduation, she gained two years of experience in small animal and mixed veterinary practice. She advanced her expertise through a 12-month internship in equine medicine and surgery at the Royal Veterinary College, London. Following this, she completed a residency in Equine Internal Medicine at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital, University of Pretoria, South Africa, where she later worked as a lecturer. Returning to Perth in 2013, she joined Murdoch University's equine team in 2016, contributing to both teaching and clinical services.
McConnell's research centers on equine internal medicine, with a particular emphasis on the prevalence, distribution, and anthelmintic resistance of ascarid and strongylid nematodes in Australian horses. Notable publications include co-authorship on "A national survey of anthelmintic resistance in ascarid and strongylid nematodes of horses in Australia" published in 2024 in the International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance; "Prevalence and diversity of ascarid and strongylid nematodes in Australian horses: Abattoir and post-mortem survey" (2023, Veterinary Parasitology); "Understanding temporal and spatial distribution of intestinal nematodes of horses using four different sampling methods" (2024, Veterinary Parasitology); "Assessment of worm control practices recommended by equine veterinarians in Australia" (2023, Frontiers in Veterinary Science); and "Worm control practices used by Thoroughbred horse owners in Australia" (2024, Veterinary Parasitology). Through her collaborative research efforts, she addresses critical challenges in equine parasite management, enhancing worm control strategies within the Australian Thoroughbred industry. At The Animal Hospital, Murdoch University, McConnell specializes in equine medicine and critical care, particularly for foals and ponies, delivering high-quality clinical care.
