“…Later, this species were also identified in the Turkmenistan Republic, in the Far East Ussuri region and in Abkhazia [61,62]. Recently, dirofilariasis was registered in dogs from 17 regions [56, 57,[61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73]. The minimum prevalence was 0.12% and the maximum prevalence was 63.5% (Table 3).…”

Dirofilariasis caused by Dirofilaria spp. is an important vector-borne and largely zoonotic disease. In Russia, dirofilariasis is caused by two agents D. immitis and D. repens. The present article provides detailed analyses of human and canine dirofilariasis methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the disease, with particular reference to the control programmes. Information has been summarised from literature in different languages that are not readily accessible to the international scientific community. Human dirofilariasis was first registered in Russia in 1915, and recent reports showed that the total number of infected humans increases on average by 1.8 times every three years. Human dirofilariasis was registered in 42 federal subjects. Totally 1162 cases of subcutaneous dirofilariasis were registered in the Russian Federation between 1915-2013, the most frequently type of subcutanious dirofilariasis was ocular dirofilariasis (more than 50% cases). Seven cases of pulmonary dirofilarisis were registered in Russia. The treatment of human dirofilariasis includes surgical removal of worms only; in result preventive measure have major importance for reducing risk of Dirofilaria infection. Control programmes have been implemented by the government at all administrative levels including diagnosis and treatment of patients, identification, isolation, and treatment of infected dogs, monthly chemoprophylactic of dogs during spring-summer periods, and regular vector control.

“…To a large extent, dirofilariasis spread is facilitated by anthropogenic contributors, e.g. presence of stagnant water bodies, as well as territories with high dog populations [9].…”

“…German Shepherds, East-European Shepherds, Caucasian Shepherds, Central Asian Shepherds, Doberman Pinchers, Giant Schnauzers and Boxers are breeds that are most susceptible to dirofilariasis infection [18,19]. The most vulnerable dog ages are 4 to 6 years old; according to some sources, high risk of infection remains until 8 years of age [9].…”

Blood Morphology in Dogs with Dirofilariasis

et al. 2020

The article addresses the results of a study of blood morphology parameters in healthy dogs vs. dogs diagnosed with dirofilariasis. In the group of infected animals, the most significant difference was 4.9 higher granulocytes. Another significant contribution is eosinophils and, to a lesser extent, neutrophils and monocytes. In blood of infected and healthy animals, no difference was found in terms of the count of red blood cells, haemoglobin, and haematocrit. Anisocytosis value in red blood cells is probably related to the compensated processes, and differs insignificantly between healthy and infected animal groups. Blood morphology of infected animals is characterized by mild reticulocytosis, not exceeding 20% of physiological norm. In the group of infected dogs, platelet count corresponds to the lower boundary of physiological norm. In healthy animals’ group, platelets and platelet crit is physiologically normal. Leukopenia, lymphocytopenia are detected. Apparently, the reason behind the findings is age of the animals and degree of their adaptation to the progress of the invasive process.
