“…Other studies have found prevalences of between 0.1 and 0.5% (BRITO et al, 2001;LEITE, 2005;ROCHA, 2007). The positive result strengths the hypothesis of local transmission.…”

“…The possible reasons for this decrease include the reduction of transmission as a result of effective chemoprophylaxis and/or reduction of microfilaremic dog populations due to the off-label use of injectable ivermectin [ 187 ]. The risk of D. immitis infection is grater in dogs living in coastal regions [ 170 , 172 , 182 , 187 ] and in dogs older than two years [ 185 ]. Apparently there is no sex or breed predisposition [ 172 , 182 ].…”

Apparently there is no sex or breed predisposition [ 172 , 182 ]. In some areas, the prevalence of infection is higher among males [ 177 , 185 ], although this is likely to be a matter of exposure rather than sex-related susceptibility.…”

“…As microfilárias da D. immitis possuem movimentos lentos, de forma serpentiforme. Medem cerca de 298 µm de comprimento e 7,3 µm de largura, com sua extremidade posterior reta e anterior em formato oval (BRITO et al, 2001). Immitis, relacionado com a presença do vetor que vivem na natureza e preferem temperaturas acima de 14°C.…”
