2023 Annual Pet Parasite Forecasts
by Dr. Michael YabsleyRISK OF EXPOSURE TO VECTOR-BORNE PATHOGENS: WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2023Pathogens that cause heartworm disease, Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, and anaplasmosis continue to increase and spread throughout the United States. The risk of vector-borne disease is complex and involves the interaction of vectors, pathogens, hosts, host behaviors, and habitats. Land use and climate change, human population growth, urbanization, changes in wildlife host and vector densities and distributions, and increasing globalization are all factors that directly impact vector-borne diseases. An interdisciplinary approach between human, animal, and ecosystem health, referred to as One Health, has recently been relied upon as a framework that can help address the diversity of factors involved in vector-borne disease risks. ...
