- The biology, transmission, and survival of C. cayetanensis
- The occurrence, distribution, and prediction of the parasite in agricultural environments
- Detection and laboratory methods for the recovery, detection, identification, and viability assessment of the parasite and its oocysts
- Agricultural water monitoring, surveillance, and treatment
- Mitigation strategies.
The resource page will be updated as new information and resources become available. Access the page here.
