• National Parvo Awareness Day raises awareness of canine parvovirus (parvo), the often-fatal puppy disease.
• Elanco’s Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody (CPMA) is the first-and-only USDA conditionally approved treatment for parvo.
• Puppies treated with CPMA had a 93% survival rate and returned home an average of 1.87 days sooner.^[1],[2]
• Elanco’s ParvoTrack, the first-ever national online parvo tracking tool, allows pet owners and veterinarians to self-report outbreaks in real time, further highlighting the need for CPMA across the country and reinforcing Elanco’s commitment to increasing the availability of CPMA.
• Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana and New York have some of the highest reported cases of canine parvovirus outbreaks according to ParvoTrack.

GREENFIELD, Ind., April 22, 2025 /3BL/ – Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) today recognizes the second annual National Parvo Awareness Day, aimed at increasing awareness of canine parvovirus, a highly contagious and often-fatal puppy disease. Since receiving conditional approval from the USDA, Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody (CPMA) has helped save thousands of puppies.^[3] Although parvovirus can strike anytime, late spring and summer months are the most common for outbreaks nationwide.

“Parvo is a devastating disease that not only impacts our pets, but takes an emotional toll on pet owners, veterinarians and animal health experts,” said Dr. Chris George, veterinarian and infectious disease expert at Elanco Animal Health. “Without supportive care, parvo has a 91% mortality rate.^[4] However, there’s a treatment beyond just supportive care – Elanco’s CPMA which can help defend puppies and defeat parvo. In real-world usage, 93% of parvo-infected puppies treated with CPMA survived.^[1] Additionally, parvo patients treated with CPMA spend an average of 1.87 less days in the hospital, helping to relieve the emotional toll on treating veterinary staff and getting pets back with their families. CPMA is changing the way we treat parvo and is helping save puppies across the country.”^[2]

Elanco’s mission to save 1 million puppies from parvovirus by 2030

“Making CPMA widely available is crucial in our fight against this devastating virus, including in shelter environments where resources are often strained,” said Bobby Modi, Executive Vice President, U.S. Pet Health. “Elanco is focused on increasing access to this life-saving treatment, and we’ve saved thousands of puppies in the first year^[3] – but we need help from every clinic around the country to reach our mission of saving 1 million puppies from parvovirus by 2030. We believe every clinic and shelter should experience the power of CPMA firsthand, so we encourage clinics who haven’t tried it to learn more about how they can save their first parvo puppy using CPMA.”

Last year, Elanco launched ParvoTrack as the first-ever real-time online parvo tracking tool, empowering pet owners and the veterinary community with innovative intelligence to help notify them of parvo outbreaks in their communities. Visitors to the site can self-report and identify parvo outbreak areas, with a few simple steps, as well as sign up for parvo outbreak alerts in their area. Since launching ParvoTrack last year, thousands of parvo cases have been reported nationwide, with over 7,000 pet owners and veterinarians signing up to receive alerts with outbreaks in their area. ParvoTrack updates in real time and displays data from the past 12 months. Parvo outbreaks have occurred in every state with Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana and New York having some of the highest reported cases of canine parvovirus outbreaks.

“Every clinic and every shelter should have CPMA readily available.” 

“We’ve been treating parvo since early 2020 and it can be an absolutely devasting disease that weighs heavily on the staff,” said Dr. Meghan Herron, Senior Director of Behavior, Research, and Education at Gigi’s, an Ohio-based organization dedicated to improving the lives of shelter dogs. “Now that we have CPMA on board, everyone’s attitudes have changed. We no longer must fear a parvo outbreak because we have a treatment on hand that reduces hospitalization time and has a 93% survival rate. Every clinic and every shelter should have CPMA readily available.”

The Birmingham Zoo welcomed a new resident to its freshly completed Wojciechowski Cougar Crossing habitat. A female orphaned cougar cub from Montana arrived safely at the zoo on Tuesday, February 11, marking a significant milestone ahead of the habitat’s mid-March opening.

The transport of the cub was a collaborative effort involving the Birmingham Zoo, FedEx, and Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. The young cougar, named Juniper, estimated to be four to five months old and weighing between 30 and 40 pounds, traveled by plane from Great Falls, Montana, to Memphis, Tennessee. From there, she was transported by the Birmingham Zoo to her new home.

Chris Pfefferkorn, President and CEO of the Birmingham Zoo, expressed his excitement about the new addition, stating, “The arrival of this first cub is a major step towards us opening the Wojciechowski Cougar Crossing in mid-March. This project has been years in the making, and it’s truly heartwarming to see the community come together to make it a reality.”

Heather Harshbarger, communications advisor for FedEx Cares, highlighted the company’s commitment to animal welfare, stating, “FedEx has a long history of working closely with zoos and aquariums to provide safe travel for animals using our extensive global transportation network and logistical expertise. We are proud to donate the cost of this mountain lion cub delivery.”

The Birmingham Zoo staff worked diligently to help Juniper acclimate to her new surroundings and plans were underway to find another orphaned cub around her age to join her in the Wojciechowski Cougar Crossing habitat. This effort aimed to provide companionship and enrichment for the young cougar.

Shortly after Juniper’s arrival, the zoo also welcomed two new bobcats, Baxter and Boomer, transported by FedEx from the San Diego Humane Society. These seven-year-old bobcats arrived on March 7 and quickly adjusted to their new home. Baxter and Boomer’s arrival further enriched the Wojciechowski Cougar Crossing habitat, showcasing the zoo’s commitment to providing a safe and enriching environment for all its animals.

The last of the four residents, Spruce, another orphaned cougar cub, was one of three siblings rescued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and cared for at the Oakland Zoo. After their mother was killed by a car, the cubs were found in Portola Valley. Spruce, also transported by FedEx, was chosen to join Juniper at the Birmingham Zoo. The hope is for them to become best friends like Baxter and Boomer.

As the Birmingham Zoo celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2025, the opening of the Wojciechowski Cougar Crossing on March 19 marked a significant milestone in its history. The new habitat stands as a symbol of hope, community effort, and the zoo’s dedication to animal care and conservation. Zoo visitors will learn about the important conservation efforts behind these beautiful animals.

FedEx donated the transportation costs for the cougar cubs and bobcats as part of the company’s FedEx Cares “Delivering for Good” initiative, in which FedEx lends its global network and unparalleled logistics expertise to organizations with precious cargo requests and helps communities before, during, and after crises.

Pairwise is a new innovative way of separating arriving aircraft, developed by Leidos UK and the air traffic service NATS. It is helping to boost on-time performance and cut carbon emissions at London’s Heathrow Airport.

Pairwise works by introducing a totally new way of calculating the minimum separation between arriving pairs of aircraft.

It is delivered using Intelligent Approach (IA), an arrivals spacing tool, jointly developed by Leidos and NATS with help from Think Research, that helps controllers to safely optimise the gaps between aircraft arriving at an airport. IA first went live in 2015 at London Heathrow and is now also in operation at Amsterdam Schiphol and Toronto Pearson airports.

“Pairwise marks another new milestone in the advancement of the Intelligent Approach tool,” said Graham Emmons, vice president and managing director of civil at Leidos UK, “advancing this world-leading solution to deliver even greater benefits for airports, airlines, passengers and importantly the environment.”

Traditionally, aircraft separation is based on six categories taking into account the aircraft’s weight and the amount of wake vortex it generates.

What Pairwise does is it tailors the separation between each pair of aircraft using the specific characteristics of each individual aircraft type. Tailoring the separation in this far more granular way means air traffic controllers can safely reduce the gap between some pairs of aircraft and increase the overall flow of traffic.

This sophisticated approach to Time Based Separation (TBS) is especially beneficial for capacity-constrained airfields, with Pairwise enabling existing runways to utilise maximum capacity without the need for expensive changes to ground infrastructure.

Successful deployment at Heathrow

At Heathrow airport, one of the world’s busiest international airports and the UK’s largest, Pairwise was deployed at the end of last year. The technology is expected to increase the landing rate by around two additional arrivals per landing runway per hour versus traditional wake vortex groups.

While the overall number of flights at Heathrow is capped by government regulation, being able to land more aircrafts per hour will help to minimise delays and airborne holding, resulting in significant fuel and emissions savings as well as increased passenger satisfaction.

IA’s TBS is already delivering up to 47,000 tonnes of CO2 savings at Heathrow, in addition to delay savings and additional tactical runway capacity. Pairwise adds significant further savings. The airport is scheduled at 99 per cent of its declared capacity, meaning any impact on landing rate increases the possibility of both delays and cancellations.

“With Pairwise, the airport has more tactical capacity for flight movements, so flights arrive and depart more on schedule,” explained Emmons. “It improves punctuality at the airport, along with the environmental benefits.”

“Deploying innovative technology like Pairwise separation at Heathrow makes a real difference to our operation’s overall resilience,” said Kelly Stone, head of airport operations Heathrow Airport Limited.

Intelligent Approach benefits

Intelligent Approach, developed jointly by Leidos UK and NATS, was a world first when it deployed at Heathrow in 2015. Its use of dynamically calculated time-based separation – as opposed to static, distance-based gaps – cut headwind delays by more than 60% and reduced airborne holding by 230,000 minutes per annum, saving over 47,000 tonnes of CO2. Pairwise is an exciting opportunity to add further value to these benefits.

I am a Senior Recruiting Coordinator at GoDaddy and have been with the company for ten months. With nine years of experience in Talent Acquisition, Recruiting, Candidate Experience, and Customer Support, I am passionate about this field. It allows me to assist others in securing their dream jobs and enhancing their interview processes. I studied International Business Management, and during my internship with General Electric, I discovered my passion for Talent Acquisition. That initial experience ignited a profound passion within me, compelling me to seek further opportunities in the field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with both startups and multinational companies across various industries, including Tech, Education-Tech, Oil and Gas, Beauty, and Telecommunications. This diverse experience has provided me with a well-rounded perspective and a deep understanding of different talent needs. I also have a strong passion for languages, which has helped me work effectively with teams and candidates from all over the world. In addition to my corporate role, I’ve been passionate about beauty and fashion since I was 14 years old. I started watching makeup tutorials on YouTube, and in 2018, I began studying makeup professionally, which I continue to do today. I really enjoy balancing my career at GoDaddy with my creative side in beauty, as it allows me to explore both my corporate and artistic passions in parallel.

What initially attracted me to GoDaddy was its global influence, innovative strategies, and dedication to empowering small businesses. The chance to work in such a dynamic environment, surrounded by talented colleagues, has been a perfect match for my skills and ambitions. I’ve genuinely appreciated my time here.

What has driven your growth most through your career? 

My growth has been fueled by an unwavering curiosity and a deep passion for enhancing processes. Being able to see how small changes can lead to big improvements, whether in candidate experience or team efficiency, really keeps me motivated. I also thrive on collaboration and learning from colleagues across different departments and cultures, which has significantly helped me grow in my role. One of the key drivers for me has been my love for working with both customers and candidates. I find great fulfillment in interacting with people and always strive to make every interaction better, whether it’s enhancing the candidate experience or building stronger relationships with stakeholders. This focus on people and continuous improvement has really shaped my career growth.

If you had to describe GoDaddy’s culture in one word, what would it be and why? 

Inclusive. GoDaddy is all about bringing people together from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. It’s a place where everyone’s voice is heard, and there’s a genuine commitment to supporting each other’s growth.

Employees are celebrated for their contributions, which makes it a truly motivating environment.

Effective communication and mutual trust have been essential for our remote work success. We’ve built a culture of transparency, and we make sure to stay connected through regular check-ins, virtual team meetings, and collaborative tools. It’s really empowering to know that we can achieve our goals while maintaining flexibility and still feel like a tight-knit team.

Having a passion for helping small businesses and being excited about technology and global collaboration will also go a long way. Above all, be yourself – GoDaddy values authenticity and diverse perspectives!

What do you enjoy doing outside of work? 

Outside of work, I’m a content creator, model, and makeup artist. I’m passionate about beauty and fashion, and I love keeping up with the latest trends and sharing my experiences on social media. This also gives me the opportunity to meet amazing people and connect with brands. I’m also a big fan of traveling, exploring new restaurants, and having great food experiences. One of my favorite things to do is visit bubble tea places—I absolutely love sipping on boba while walking around! I also enjoy going to concerts. There’s something about the energy of live music that I find incredibly exciting and fulfilling. Spending time with my family and my partner is incredibly important to me, and I truly cherish those moments of connection. I also love animals and have two cats, Niza and Marshmellow, who bring so much joy and fun into my life! Additionally, I’m passionate about learning languages. I’m a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, and I know a bit of French. Right now, I’m learning Portuguese, and I’m really excited to expand my language skills to continue in my journey of connecting with more people around the world!
