Mosquitoes
in dogs
Mosquitoes are a source of annoyance. A single dog can be bitten >80 times within only 24 hours.
Mosquito bites on dogs are more than just an annoyance, as for people! In dogs, mosquitoes can not only trigger allergic reactions but cause the transmission of pathogens responsible of dangerous diseases such as heartworm. The transmission of the pathogens is very fast as it occurs within less than 5 minutes along with the blood meal when the worm Dirofilaria immitis is deposited at skin level.
Dirofilariosis in dogs
Dirofilariosis (D. immitis), also known as heartworm disease, is a serious and potentially fatal illness caused by a worm that lives in the pulmonary arteries and the right side of a dog’s heart. The transmission of this worm, known as Dirofilaria immitis, requires a mosquito as an intermediate host, with the dog being the definitive host.
The danger of this disease lies in the fact that it cannot be detected with the naked eye, earning it the name "hidden disease." That's why prevention is crucial.
