Is there a dog disease outbreak in Texas right now?

ParvoMaps is currently tracking 8 active reports in Texas, most commonly rabies. Reports stay marked active for a set window per disease, then move to historical.

What dog diseases have been reported in Texas?

Reports in Texas cover rabies, new world screwworm, parvovirus, distemper, drawn from news coverage, health department notices and community reports.

How do I know if a report near me is still current?

Every report carries the date it happened and a link to its source. Each disease has its own active window — blue-green algae advisories expire in 30 days, parvo reports stay active for a year — so a pin marked active is one still worth acting on.
