EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
Dirofilaria immitis: Is a common parasite of dogs (and some other carnivores) in many parts of the world. It is considerably veterinary problem, particularly in U.S.A and Japan. In the dogs, adult worms lie coiled in tangled masses in the right ventricle of the heart. The microfilaria circulates in the blood and is transmitted by mosquitoes (Clarke, 2005).
