Modelling vector and host distributions to inform potential disease risk: A case study of West Nile virus in the United Kingdom

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 842-862, December 2025.
Correlative modelling approaches can be used successfully to predict the distribution of vectors and hosts involved in vector‐borne diseases of concern. For West Nile virus in the United Kingdom, host distributions are unlikely to be a significant factor influencing change. Vector distributions and urbanisation will drive increasing risk. Projecting to

Feline Heartworm Disease

open access: yes, 1998
Dirofilaria immitis is the etiologic agent for canine heartworm disease. Although it is most notably associated with disease in dogs, various other species can serve as the definitive hosts. When left unchecked, infection can be fatal.

Evaluation of C-reactive protein (CRP) as clinical biomarker in naturally heartworm infected dogs : field study

open access: yes, 2013
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein found in the blood, the levels of which rise in response to inflammation and is considered an acute-phase protein. Its physiological role is to bind to phosphocholine expressed on the surface of dead or dying cells (

Heartworm Disease in Jackals: Unusual Location of Dirofilaria immitis.

open access: yes, 2022
PURPOSE The knowledge of heartworm disease in free ranging wild canid populations is limited. As it is very difficult to monitor this disease in live animals, sporadic findings are mostly obtained by examining culled individuals of game species.

An Overview of Feline Heartworm Disease

open access: yes, 1987

Efficacy of Sustained-Release Formulation of Moxidectin (Guardian SR) in Preventing Heartworm Infection over 18 Months in Dogs Living in a Hyperendemic Area

open access: yesAnimals
This study investigates the efficacy of a sustained-release (SR) moxidectin microsphere formulation in preventing canine heartworm infection over 18 months in Canary Hound dogs, a hunting breed common in the Canary Islands, which is a hyperendemic region.
