Detection of <i>Dirofilaria immitis</i> in a brown bear (<i>Ursus arctos</i>) in Greece

2017-08-02

Abstract excerpt

Summary Dirofilaria immitis (canine heartworm) is a filarial nematode found in the pulmonary circulation and the heart of susceptible hosts. It represents an important zoonotic vector-borne disease of domestic dogs and several wildlife species. Herein we report for the first time, the finding of Dirofilaria immitis worms in a brown bear killed in a vehicle collision in Northern Greece. The worms were morphological...
