Issue Date: | 2006 | Journal: | Parasitology Research | Abstract: | Blood samples from 823 dogs were tested for circulating Dirofilaria immitis antigen during a 1-year period (May 2002 to May 2003) on Tenerife Island, Canary Islands, Spain. Seroprevalence of heartworm infection was 21%. Heartworm infection was similar in males and females and was more common in dogs aged > 6 years. Distribution of infection in varying climatic zones was not statistically different. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/47932 | ISSN: | 0932-0113 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00436-006-0257-1 | Source: | Parasitology Research [ISSN 0932-0113],v. 100, p. 103-105, (Diciembre 2006) |
