Clonal T Cell Proliferation Induced by Acute Anaplasmosis in a Dog
ABSTRACT A 4‐year‐old spayed female Golden Retriever was examined for hindlimb lameness, lethargy, poor appetite, and pyrexia 3 weeks after the removal of numerous ticks. Complete blood count revealed moderate thrombocytopenia and mild lymphopenia. A SNAP 4Dx test was negative for Borrelia burgdorferi, Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., and Dirofilaria ...

Use of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to distinguish between nematodes of pathogenic significance [PDF]
The availability of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) would be useful for studying the extent of diversity among morpholgically indistinguishable populations of filarial parasites. Such polymorphisms may be useful in correlating various

Polymerase chain reaction—identification of Dirofilaria repens and Dirofilaria immitis
SUMMARYOn the basis of known DNA sequences of Dirofilaria repens and D. immitis we designed specific primers for the amplification by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of the DNA from the two species. The PCR-based identification was found to be unambiguous and allowed specific diagnosis of microfilariae in blood samples, of developing larvae in the ...
