A 3-yr-old female mongrel dog was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University in the Republic of Korea. An adult heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, was found in the abdominal cavity of the dog during spaying. Dirofilariasis in this dog was also diagnosed by modified Knott's test, ELISA test, and PCR analysis. The present case is the first report on the migration of an adult dog heartworm to the abdominal cavity of a dog in the Republic of Korea.
一只3岁的雌性杂种犬被转诊至韩国忠南国立大学兽医学院教学医院。在给这只狗做绝育手术时,在其腹腔内发现了一条成年犬心丝虫,即犬恶丝虫。还通过改良Knott氏试验、酶联免疫吸附测定试验和聚合酶链反应分析确诊了这只狗患有犬恶丝虫病。本病例是韩国首例关于成年犬心丝虫迁移至犬腹腔的报告。
