| Summary: | The results for the dissemination of heartworm in dogs from Voronezh and the Voronezh region are obtained. Materials and methods. Dirofilariasis was detected in 52 cases (12,3%) of the investigated 424 blood samples. Results and discussion. EI is different in various social dog groups: 24,1% - among the homeless (of 29), 24,6% - security (of 65) and 8,8% of 330 dogs kept in housing conditions and private homes. Dirofilariasis was registered in all age groups of 1 to 14,5 years, but the highest invasion rate (42,2%) was observed in dogs 1 to 5 years of age. The subcutaneous dirofilariasis (Dirofilaria repens) is twice as often as the cardiovascular dirofilariasis (D. Immitis). |
