Did you know a US study of dog parks in 2020 found that 20.7% of dogs sampled tested positive for parasites? Factors such as climate change and global travel are helping parasites spread and thrive in regions that may not have been hospitable in the past. This means that more pets, and by extension, humans, are at risk of infection unless prevention practices like good hygiene and parasiticide use are adopted. Discover what this means for pets and people who own them from our recent ‘Global Trends in Parasite Control’ report: https://bit.ly/3NcZnkS #AnimalHealthMatters #OneHealth

Depending upon country and species, this can range from strong biosecurity to vaccination. Whatever the approach... Prevention is always the right path to protect our shared One Health. https://lnkd.in/dJAx7FCi
