Effect of heartworm disease and heartworm-associated respiratory disease (HARD) on the right ventricle of cats

Focus on Canine Heartworm Disease

The ingested microfilariae develop into the infective third-stage larvae (L3) after several molts. These L3 migrate to the mosquito head and mouthparts where they are deposited in hemolymph onto mammalian skin during subsequent blood meals. After the deposited L3 enter the host through the mosquito bite wound, they molt to fourth-stage larvae (L4). The L4 then migrate through the tissues toward...

Heartworm Disease in Dogs

The life cycle begins when a female mosquito bites an infected dog and ingests the microfilariae during a blood meal. The microfilariae develop further for 10 30 days in the mosquito's gut and then enter its mouthparts. At this stage, they are infective larvae and can complete their maturation when they enter a dog. The infective larvae enter the dog's body when the mosquito bites the dog. They...

Canine Heartworm Disease

Contributing to the Emergence of Heartworm Disease

Resistance Resistance to current preventive medications is considered a very prominent topic. All major heartworm preventives are in the macrocyclic lactone class of antiparasiticides. Those approved for use in dogs and cats include ivermectin, moxidectin, milbemycin, selamectin, and milbemycin. They demonstrate excellent lethality to the L3 and L4 stages of Dirofilaria immitis. Based upon incr...
