Web Site Reaches Global Audience
The American Consortium for Small Ruminant Parasite Control (ACSRPC) was organized in 2003 in response to the widespread emergence of anthelmintic-resistant worms. A web site (acsrpc.org) was established in 2004 to provide up-to-date information to stakeholders. The web site (wormx.info) was upgraded in 2012 and is now hosted by the University of Maryland.
