For those interested, here are maps showing the reported incidence of
heartworm positive dogs to area vet clinics:
https://www.heartwormsociety.org/veterinary-resources/incidence-maps
Note the changes (increases & spread across the country) between 2001 and
2013. 2013 is a lot higher than even 2010. Those in CA, I thought it was
striking that there is an area of northwest CA that now has the incidence
numbers equivalent to places like Southeast Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, &
deep South.
Of mainland US, only North Dakota seems relatively clear of heartworm.
Nevada looks good, except for the Las Vegas area/southern tip.
For those of us in AZ, the only low incidence area anymore seems to be a
northeastern strip of the state.
