Dogs, naturally infected with Dirofilaria immitis, were treated with the residues of the alcoholic extracts of the rhizomes of Zingiber officinale (ginger). Twelve subcutaneous injections of the extract given at 100 mg/kg reduced microfilarial concentration in blood by a maximum of 98%. Fifty five days after the last injection there was 83% reduction in microfilarial concentration suggesting partial destruction of adult worms. Half of the treated dogs showed some lethargy at the beginning of treatment possibly due to the mass annihilation of microfilariae in blood.
对自然感染犬恶丝虫的犬，用姜根茎乙醇提取物的残渣进行治疗。以100mg/kg的剂量进行12次皮下注射该提取物后，血液中的微丝蚴浓度最高降低了98%。最后一次注射后55天，微丝蚴浓度降低了83%，表明成虫受到部分破坏。一半接受治疗的犬在治疗开始时表现出一些嗜睡，这可能是由于血液中微丝蚴大量死亡所致。
