Heartworm and Wolbachia: Therapeutic implications

Veterinary Parasitology, 2008
A safer, more effective adulticidal treatment and a safe method for reducing microfilaremia and breaking transmission of heartworm disease early in the treatment are needed. The present study evaluated efficacy of ivermectin (IVM) and doxycycline (DOXY) alone or together (with or without melarsomine [MEL]) in dogs with induced adult heartworm infection

Effects of treatment with ticlopidine in heartworm-negative, heartworm-infected, and embolized heartworm-infected dogs

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1991
SUMMARY Ticlopidine hydrochloride was evaluated for its effectiveness in inhibiting platelet aggregation and serotonin release in 5 laboratory Beagles before and after heart-worm implantation with 7 adult Dirofilaria immitis, and after embolization with 7 dead heartworms to mimic what happens after heartworm adulticide treatment.

Effects of treatment with aspirin or aspirin/dipyridamole combination in heartworm-negative, heartworm-infected, and embolized heartworm-infected dogs

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1991
SUMMARY To determine the drug dose required to inhibit platelet reactivity by at least 50%, 2 drug regimens were evaluated in heartworm-negative, heartworm-infected, and heartworm-infected dogs embolized with dead heart-worms. Aspirin, or a combination of aspirin and dipyridamole, were administered to 2 groups of Beagles (n = 5 each) for 5 to 9 days; a

Radiology of Heartworm Disease

2018
Radiography is valuable for determining the presence and severity of heartworm disease. Survey radiographs of the thorax provide valuable information on the extent and degree of change in the pulmonary parenchyma, pulmonary arteries, and the heart. Radiography provides information about the topographic location and extent of the thoracic disease and ...

Pulmonary Manifestations of Heartworm Disease

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1985
The clinical signs associated with heartworm disease are the result of changes in the pulmonary arterial system. These clinical signs are the result of either pulmonary hypertension or lung parenchymal disease associated with vascular changes. An increase in pulmonary arterial pressure produces an increase in right ventricular afterload, which may lead

Evaluation of heartworm immunodiagnostic tests

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1990
Summary In this report, the use of appropriate statistical methods for the evaluation of heartworm immunodiagnostic tests is discussed. The evaluation of these tests is complicated by factors causing variation in sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and predictive values of positive and negative test results.
