Editor's Note: A monthly dose of parasitology advice

In an exclusive partnership with the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC), each month on dvm360.com you’ll find videos and forecast maps of vector-borne diseases. The videos feature renowned parasitologists discussing what you need to know now about all things creepy and crawly—whether macroscopic or microscopic.

This month, check out the 2014 forecast for anaplasmosis throughout the United States and meet the very first Tick of the Month. Then read all about the forecast maps, break a parasite myth, and see even more at dvm360.com/capc. And venture back to this web page each month for updated content.
