DOI: 10.1111/tbed.14089
Abstract: Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens are mosquito-borne filaroids of zoonotic concern, which primarily cause canine heartworm disease (HWD) and subcutaneous dirofilariosis, respectively. The geographical distribution of these nematodes is constantly changing, due to many factors… read more here.
