COYOTES AND CANINE HEARTWORM IN CALIFORNIA
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1980Adult Dirofilaria immitis were found in the hearts of 43 of 115 coyotes (Canis latrans) trapped within a 50 km radius of the El Dorado County seat. Of mature coyotes, 45% were positive, with worm numbers averaging 9.0 in females and 16.2 in males. D. immitis microfilariae occurred in the peripheral blood and in lung smears.

Glomerulosclerosis in Canine Heartworm Infection
Veterinary Pathology, 1974The kidneys of seven dogs with natural infections of heartworm disease, four dogs with experimental infections, and six control (uninfected) dogs raised in isolation were examined by light, fluorescent, and electron microscopy. Swelling and fragmentation of the basement membranes accompanied by denudations of endothelial cells and fusion and atrophy of

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CANINE HEARTWORM INFECTION
Epidemiologic Reviews, 1983Factors affecting transmission of D. immitis between dogs are summarized in table 4. Although this list may not be exhaustive, it illustrates the complexity of heartworm epidemiology. There are interesting and provocative similarities in the epidemiology of canine and human filariasis.

Australian Veterinary Journal, 2021
Locally acquired canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) infection in the temperate southern climate zones of Australia is currently rare. We report a case of locally acquired canine heartworm from Sydney, New South Wales in a 12‐year‐old Fox Terrier × Jack Russell female that presented with coughing and breathing difficulties.

Canine heartworm disease: A review and pilot study
Social Science and Medicine, 1987Canine heartworm disease is a mosquito vectored illness resulting from parasitization by the filariid worm Dirofilaria immitis. While presenting some danger to humans, the filariid has its greatest impact on the canine population. In recent years the disease has become established throughout much of the United States, perhaps as the result of diffusion

Risk Factors Associated with Canine Heartworm Infection
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1980SUMMARY Risk factors associated with canine heartworm infection were determined by screening medical records from the Veterinary Medical Data Program of June 1964–May 1976. Data represented were from 14 colleges and schools of veterinary medicine in the United States and Canada. A total of 3,655 dogs were infected. Intact male dogs 4 to 7 years old and

Incidence of canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) in Malaysia
Veterinary Record, 1976A total of 764 adult dogs were examined for microfilariae and adult worms of D immitis and 197 (25-8 per cent) were found to be infected. Direct blood examinations revealed only 47-2 per cent of the infected dogs whereas the blood serum examination detected 57-8 per cent of them.

Canine heartworms in experimental cardiac and pulmonary surgery
Journal of Surgical Research, 1966Summary Upon receiving an intravenous extract of Dirofilaria immitis , 75% of dogs with microfilaria of Dirofilaria immitis and 21% of dogs without demonstrable microfilaria had an anaphylactoid reaction. This response is typical of the “homologous blood reaction.” Of available dogs in the Jackson area 55% had microfilaria antibodies in the blood ...

Seroprevalence of canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) infection in Albania
Parasitology Research, 2010Blood samples from 260 dogs over 1 year of age from eight districts of the western part of Albania (20 to 50 dogs per district) were collected in 1995 and 1996 and tested for circulating Dirofilaria immitis antigen using the PetChek HTWM PF (IDEXX) ELISA test kit. Overall seroprevalence of D. immitis infection among these dogs was 13.5% (95% confidence

SUMMARY An interaction between blood platelets and adult heartworms was examined in vitro. Surfaces of glutaraldehyde-fixed heartworms, which were taken from infected dogs, washed, and incubated in platelet-rich plasma (prp), were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy.
