Evaluation of feline heartworm disease based on gross necropsy, serology, pulmonary histopathology, and radiographic evidence in adult shelter cats in northeastern Alabama

Parasites & Vectors
Background : Veterinary knowledge regarding feline heartworm has been increasing significantly over the past two decades. Necropsy surveys of shelter cats have shown feline adult heartworm infection prevalence to be 5–20% of the rate in unprotected dogs;

Effect of blood meals and mating on biodemographic characteristics of Aedes albopictus

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Lifespan did not differ between virgin and mated males and females. The number of blood meals (one and two) significantly reduced adult lifespan compared with those with no blood meal. The effect of the second blood meal doubled females' egg production and their reproductive output.

Longitudinal Analysis of Seasonal Variations in Intradermal Test Reactivity and Serum Allergen‐Specific Immunoglobulin E in Dogs With Atopic Dermatitis

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Background: In dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD), allergen testing is often timed to pollen exposure. However, data on seasonal effects on intradermal testing (IDT) and allergen‐specific immunoglobulin (Ig)E serology (SAT) are limited. Objectives: To evaluate the seasonal effects on IDT and SAT results in dogs with AD by comparing aeroallergen test ...

A comparative analysis of heartworm medication use patterns for dogs that also receive ectoparasiticides

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Heartworm medications and many oral or topical flea and tick products are provided as monthly doses while a newer oral flea/tick product, fluralaner (BRAVECTO® Chew), is re-dosed at a 12-week interval. This study focused on whether there was a

Presumptive Congenital Unilateral Renal Agenesis With Contralateral Dysplasia/Hypoplasia in a Golden Retriever

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
A 4‐year‐old Golden Retriever presented with polyuria, polydipsia and severe azotaemia, with multimodal imaging revealing complete presumptive left renal agenesis with a small dysplastic remnant and severe presumptive right renal dysplasia/hypoplasia with loss of normal corticomedullary architecture. To the authors’ knowledge, this represents the first

Allogenic blood patch pleurodesis for management of presumptive secondary spontaneous pneumothorax in a cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 7‐year‐old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was presented with respiratory distress due to presumed spontaneous pneumothorax. High‐resolution computed tomography identified subpleural blebs and paraseptal emphysema with peribronchial thickening and bronchiectasis.

Expansion of Canine Heartworm in Spain

Animals, 2022
The climate of Spain has favourable characteristics for the development of D. immitis in dogs, being an endemic country. Given that vector-borne diseases are spreading rapidly through Europe, due to factors such as climate change, the expansion of vectors and the increased mobility of reservoir animals, the aim was to update the epidemiology of ...

Population Pharmacokinetics of Sildenafil in Dogs With Naturally Occurring Pulmonary Hypertension

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 267-273, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The pharmacokinetics of sildenafil are ill‐defined in dogs with naturally occurring pulmonary hypertension (PH). Because the plasma concentrations of sildenafil have not been reported for dogs with this disease, this study aimed to describe the population pharmacokinetics of sildenafil in a sample of dogs with PH. Twenty client‐owned dogs with

CANINE HEARTWORMS IN COYOTES IN ILLINOIS [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2003
Canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) disease affects wild canids and may be a factor impacting the health and population dynamics of coyotes (Canis latrans). Coyotes may serve also as a potential reservoir for transmission of these parasites to domestic dogs. We investigated 920 coyotes harvested by hunters and trappers throughout Illinois (USA) from
