Parasitology Research, 2018 Dirofilaria immitis (heartworm) is enzootic in many areas of the world and quite prevalent in southern European countries. Although dogs are the main host of the parasite, cats may also be infected, and the prevalence of feline dirofilariosis is associated with the respective prevalence of canine infection in any given area.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Dirofilaria immitis in Two Cats From Italy. [PDF]
Vet Med SciFeline dirofilariosis is infrequent, and diagnosis may be overlooked. This study reports two cases of Dirofilaria immitis infections in cats from Central‐Northern Italy, diagnosed by both direct (antigenic test, molecular analyses) and indirect detection methods (indirect ELISA), as well as by imaging investigations (i.e., thoracic radiography and ...

'Transmission Tracker - Dirofilaria'- a public dashboard to assess in real-time the temperature-bounded transmissibility of canine heartworm across Australia. [PDF]
Aust Vet JThe causative agent of canine heartworm disease, Dirofilaria immitis, requires specific temperature conditions to mature within its mosquito vector, and therefore (re‐)infect a canid host. Suitable temperature conditions are not continuously met for locations where most (>97%) Australians and their pet dogs live.
