CAPC fosters animal & human health through recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention & control of parasitic infections.

Core values

- **Addresses Societal Needs**: The project focuses on parasite control in pets, which is crucial for both animal and human health, especially for vulnerable populations like the elderly, children, and immunocompromised individuals[2][4].
- **Improves Quality of Life**: By providing guidelines and resources for preventing and treating parasitic infections, the project helps in reducing the pain, discomfort, and life-threatening diseases caused by parasites in pets, and also protects the health of people around them[2][4].
- **Promotes Positive Change**: The project encourages responsible use of parasiticides, promotes awareness among pet owners, and supports veterinary professionals in making informed decisions. This helps in minimizing environmental impacts and reducing the risk of resistance to parasiticides[1][4].
- **Contributes to Community Well-being**: By reducing the burden of parasitic diseases, the project protects not only pets but also the families and communities around them, thereby contributing to public health and well-being[2][4].
