Listing of Inherited Disorders in Animals (LIDA): An Online Relational Database, Using Non-Technical Descriptions Written by Veterinary Students

Paul D. McGreevy• Federico Costa• Paul Della Torre• Peter C. Thomson• Frank W. Nicholas

This online database uses a search facility that allows users to select from the 180 recognized dog breeds in Australia and find out which ones are prone to the more than 500 inherited disorders on record. It was developed in consultation with a number of supporting organizations, including the local breeders’ governing body and animal-welfare groups, as well as owners. It is hoped that, although primarily for veterinary education, the Web site will increase awareness among breeders and may encourage them to adopt breeding programs that decrease the occurrence of the most prevalent disorders.
