| GOOD READS | | |
The Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) is a non-profit, independent council of veterinarians, veterinary parasitologists and other animal health care professionals. The organization advocates best practices for protecting pets from parasitic infections.
They also produce maps that forecast the expected severity for different parasites. For more useful information, visit Pets & Parasites.
While these maps reflect the 2012 forecast, they're still useful today. (Tip of the hat to Deb Wilks for sharing this information.)
