LUNGWORM MAP

The Elanco Lungworm Map shows the number of lungworm cases reported by vets, nurses and pet owners in the UK, and whether the cases were confirmed by diagnostic tests or suspected. This allows you to view reported cases in your area and is a great way to raise awareness with your clients. Only reported cases are shown, therefore it is not exhaustive as many go unrecorded.

Collecting Lungworm cases allows us to see the incidence rate of Lungworm infections in the UK providing information on the geographical risk of the parasite. The map has been in use for 15 years and in that time we have collected over 2,200 cases, although this is just a snapshot of what is out there.

Visit our lungworm page to view the map, report a case, and learn more about lungworm.

You can direct pet owners to the My Pet & I website to view the pet owner lungworm map and the risk in their area.
