What’s Driving The Risk?
Diagnostic Challenges
96% of D. caninum infections were missed using passive flotation2
62% of T. vulpis infections were missed using passive flotation3
Less than 24% of shelters/rescue organizations in the US require fecal testing/deworming pre-transfer4
Heartworm surveys in Canada have consistently shown that 85%-90% of dogs diagnosed with heartworm were not on heartworm prevention in the year prior to testing10
2019 study shows that zoonotic tapeworms (Echinococcus multilocularis) are more prevalent in Ontario than originally thought14
