The Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC) has designed an app to help strengthen skills in the microscopic identification of fecal parasites in veterinary clinic settings and for individual study. The Veterinary Internal Parasite Flash Card App < link > includes approximately 100 veterinary internal parasites found in dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and birds.

The parasite ID app is actually designed for the veterinary nurse, technician and staff in the veterinary hospital,” says Craig Prior, B.V.Sc., C.V.J. “It’s designed to help them improve their skills in identifying internal parasites in dogs and cats. It’s set up so it can be used as a reference or as a flashcard-type concept. It’s meant to help educate staff.”
