Dirofilaria immitis, the dog heartworm, is responsible for an endemic zoonosis in the Southeastern United States. The nematode is capable of infesting the lungs of man, causing pulmonary nodules. The epidemiologic, morphologic, and clinical features of D immitis infestation are discussed.

Morphological Redescription of Dirofilaria immitis
Journal of Parasitology, 2010Morphological descriptions of Dirofilaria immitis are scarce. For this reason, we carried out morphological studies using both light and scanning electron microscopy for this filaroid species. Morphometric and morphological data were compatible with previous descriptions of D.

In the conditions of the veterinary clinic "Beethoven" in Khabarovsk, hematological and biochemical studies of the blood of dogs infected with the nematodes Dirofilaria immitis were carried out. All sick dogs showed changes in the leukocyte formula and deviations of the biochemical parameters of blood serum from the reference values.

Immunopathology of Dirofilaria immitis Infection
Veterinary Research Communications, 2006Heartworm disease caused by Dirofilaria immitis affects canine and feline hosts, with infections occasionally being reported in humans. Studies have shown that both dirofilarial antigens and those derived from its bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia, interact with the host organism during canine, feline and human infections and participate in the ...

Antimicrofilarial immunity was studied in Dirofilaria immitis-infected dogs in order to better understand amicrofilaremic filariasis in man. Sera from dogs with amicrofilaremic infections contained IgG antibodies specific for microfilarial surface antigens detectable by immunofluorescence and in vitro leukocyte adherence. In vivo immune mechanisms were

Genetic polymorphism in Dirofilaria immitis
Veterinary Parasitology, 2011Dirofilaria immitis is the causative agent of heartworm disease. Reports of macrocyclic lactone inefficacy prompted an investigation of genetic polymorphism in D. immitis. Currently, there is a lack of genetic information for this parasite. Information on baseline levels of genetic heterogeneity in the dog heartworm would have important implications ...

Indigenous Dirofilaria immitis in Bangladesh
Parasitology Research, 2013Dirofilaria immitis is a parasite of domestic and wild canids and felids in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions throughout the world. The canine heartworm (D. immitis) is the causative agent of canine and feline cardiopulmonary dirofilariasis. This parasite is known to cause a zoonotic disease, namely human pulmonary dirofilariasis. D.

Oogenesis in Dirofilaria Immitis
Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1970The ultrastructural aspects of oocyte development in Dirofilaria immitis was studied with reference to the phylogenesis of mitochondria. Segments of ovaries from mature female worms were fixed in glutaraldehyde, postosmicated, dehydrated with ethanol, and embedded with Araldite 502. Thin sections from defined regions of ovaries were stained with uranyl
