Abstract

AIM

The present investigation was conducted to study the prevalence of microfilaremia in dogs in Gujarat.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A total of 418 adult dogs aged between 2 and 14 years with signs of weakness and non-specified complaints, presented at TVCC, Deesa (North Gujarat), Nandini Veterinary Hospital, Surat (South Gujarat), and Private Clinics, Ahmedabad (Central Gujarat), were included in the present investigation for studying the prevalence of microfilaremia from July 2016 to May 2017.

RESULTS

A total of 418 dogs were screened, of which 33 were found positive for circulating microfilariae with the prevalence rate of 7.89% in the population. Among microfilaremic dogs, the finding of microfilariae of () reconditum was more common (23 cases; 69.69%) than (10 cases; 30.30%) making their prevalence in the population of 418 dogs as 5.50% and 2.39%, respectively. Breed-wise distribution of microfilaremic dogs revealed that 12 (36.36%), 8 (24.24%), 5 (15.15%), 4 (12.12%), 2 (6.06%), 1 (3.03%), and 1 (3.03%) cases were observed in Pomeranian, non-descript, German Shepherd, Labrador, Great Dane, Lhasa Apso, and Pug dogs, respectively. Of 10 cases of , 5, 2, 2, and 1 were observed in Pomeranian, Labrador, non-descript, and Great Dane dogs, respectively. Cases of were highest in Pomeranian (7), followed by non-descript (6), German Shepherd (5), Labrador (2), Great Dane (1), Lhasa Apso (1), and Pug (1). Age-wise distribution recorded significantly (p≤0.01) higher number of cases in adult dogs (4-14 years) for (30.30%) and (39.39%). Sex-wise distribution of microfilaremic dogs showed that male (22/33, 66.66%) was more predisposed to microfilaremia rather than females (11/33, 33.34%). It is apparent from the study that the number of dogs with microfilaremia due to was significantly (p≤0.01) higher than that of .

CONCLUSION

The present study revealed that microfilaremia due to and is prevalent in the state of Gujarat. The infection with was associated with severe lung and cardiac pathological manifestations.

摘要

目的

进行本次调查以研究古吉拉特邦犬类微丝蚴血症的患病率。

材料与方法

2016年7月至2017年5月，共有418只年龄在2至14岁之间、有虚弱症状和未明确主诉的成年犬被纳入本次调查，这些犬分别来自迪萨（北古吉拉特邦）的TVCC、苏拉特（南古吉拉特邦）的南迪尼兽医医院以及艾哈迈达巴德（中古吉拉特邦）的私人诊所，用于研究微丝蚴血症的患病率。

结果

共筛查了418只犬，其中33只被发现循环微丝蚴呈阳性，人群患病率为7.89%。在微丝蚴血症犬中，犬恶丝虫（Dirofilaria immitis）微丝蚴的检出（23例；69.69%）比匐行恶丝虫（Dirofilaria repens）（10例；30.30%）更常见，它们在418只犬中的患病率分别为5.50%和2.39%。微丝蚴血症犬按品种分布显示，博美犬、无特定品种犬、德国牧羊犬、拉布拉多犬、大丹犬、拉萨犬和哈巴犬分别有12例（36.36%）、8例（24.24%）、5例（15.15%）、4例（12.12%）、2例（6.06%）、1例（3.03%）和1例（3.03%）。在10例匐行恶丝虫感染病例中，博美犬、拉布拉多犬、无特定品种犬和大丹犬分别有5例、2例、2例和1例。犬恶丝虫感染病例在博美犬中最多（7例），其次是无特定品种犬（6例）、德国牧羊犬（5例）、拉布拉多犬（2例）、大丹犬（1例）、拉萨犬（1例）和哈巴犬（1例）。按年龄分布记录显示，成年犬（4 - 14岁）中犬恶丝虫（30.30%）和匐行恶丝虫（39.39%）感染病例数量显著更高（p≤0.01）。微丝蚴血症犬按性别分布显示，雄性（22/33，66.66%）比雌性（11/33，33.34%）更易感染微丝蚴血症。从研究中可以明显看出，由犬恶丝虫引起的微丝蚴血症犬的数量显著高于匐行恶丝虫（p≤0.01）。
