Dirofilaria Immitis: Genotyping European Clinical Samples and US Laboratory Isolates at Single Nucleotide Polymorphic (SNP) Sites Associated With Macrocyclic Lactone Susceptibility and Resistance
2022-01-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Dirofilaria immitis is a parasitic filarial nematode. It is the causative agent of dirofilariosis, a potentially fatal pulmonary infection which primarily infects canids and felines. dirofilariosis infections are primarily controlled with a prophylactic macrocyclic lactone (ML) regimen. Recent evidence has confirmed the development of ML-resistant isolates in the US which are genetically dist...
