As the number of heartworms

Infective larvae microfilariae develop in mosquitoes, which serve as the vector for transmission. In the form of heartworm, it be fatal to dogs and other mammals.

heartworm disease in heartworm disease parasitic disease, predominantly of dogs but also occurring in cats, that is caused by the nematode Dirofilaria immitis.

Prevention has been greatly enhanced in recent years by the discovery of drugs that prevent development of infective larvae.. heartworm disease in heartworm disease parasitic disease, predominantly of dogs but also occurring in cats, that is caused by the nematode Dirofilaria immitis. In dogs, after the larvae are introduced into the host, they develop and migrate to the right side of the heart, where they mature. As the number of heartworms in the dogs heart increases, blood flow is compromised, and the infected animal shows respiratory distress upon exercise.

Adult worms attain lengths of 1727 cm 711 inches, and they can survive for three to five years in the heart. filariasis in filariasis …nematodes of the superfamily Filarioidea, that invade the subcutaneous tissues and lymphatics of mammals, producing reactions varying from acute inflammation to chronic scarring. Infective larvae microfilariae develop in mosquitoes, which serve as the vector for transmission.

dog tolerate as many as worms with minimal health problems unless stressed. Diagnosis is aided by Xray imaging of the heart and lungs, an antigen test, and examination of blood sample for microfilariae produced by adult females. Infective larvae microfilariae develop in mosquitoes, which serve as the vector for transmission.
