A potentially lethal parasite that can infect dogs and other mammals has been found in the Colorado River in Southern California for the first time.
It had previously mainly been found in Texas and other Gulf states, has now spread west.
"Dogs can die from this infection, so we are hoping to raise public awareness that it’s there," UC Riverside nematology professor Adler Dillman told the UC Riverside News. "If you’re swimming in the Colorado River with them, your pets are in peril."
