- A place is submitted to the input box on the site.
- This place is then sent to the website's server which appends the google API key and sends a request to google geolocation services to provide complete information about the place given.
- Once the complete information of the address is received by the website, the county and state is extracted.
- This information is used to search the data (giantFileOfDiseases) to determine the prevalence of each disease in the given state. Data has not yet been collected for counties.
- Information about the risk and % of animals who tested positive is rendered to the screen.
- A series of methods are performed on the information to determine the risk of each disease category. Based on this, a statement of advice is rendered regarding preventing against that type of parasite and any routine testing (blood or fecal) that should be performed.
