ESCCAP (European Scientific Counsel Companion Animal Parasites) is delighted to announce the publication of the third edition of its intestinal protozoa guideline: Control of Intestinal Protozoa in Dogs and Cats. 

This guideline aims to provide an overview of intestinal protozoa and their significance and, importantly, to suggest rational control measures for the most important species to prevent animal and/or human infection.

In conjunction with this updated guideline, ESCCAP has also revised all supporting materials, including its detailed stand-alone life cycle diagrams and the informative fact sheet on Giardia.  These resources offer valuable concise information to aid diagnosis and client education.

The key objective of ESCCAP is to provide veterinary professionals with free, practical, independent and research-based advice on how best to protect companion animals from parasitic infection and disease, at the same time providing guidance on how to limit the potential for zoonotic parasitic infections.
