Microfilaremia in the skin capillaries vs. Peripheral venous blood in dogs infected with Dirofilaria spp.
Original language description
Dirofilariases are emerging zoonoses, primarily affecting dogs but also other carnivores. Due to the impact on human and animal health, the transmission of Dirofilaria spp. has been vastly studied. The microfilariaemia has been shown to have a circadian variation which may cause difficulties in the screening process. Furthermore, even though mosquitoes feed on capillary blood, the screening is based on peripheral venous blood samples. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate a capillary sampling method of blood collection using triatomine bugs, to assess the feasibility of measuring the values of microfilariaemia in a dog coinfected with D. immitis and D. repens, and to evaluate comparatively the circadian variation of capillary vs. peripheral venous blood.
