A parasite that sickened 10 dogs and killed another in Southern California was found in the Colorado River in Blythe, its first known presence in the state.

' The department issued one of its first warnings in March 2019 after two South Bay dogs tested positive for the parasite after returning from a trip to the Colorado River in 2018.
