Blood samples from 50 dogs with episodic weakness and 50 clinically normal dogs, all belonging to hunting breeds, were examined for microfilariae using the modified Knott's method. The prevalence of microfilaraemia in dogs belonging to the episodic weakness group was 10% for Dirofilaria immitis, 30% for Dirofilaria repens and 8% for Acanthocheilonema reconditum. In the clinically normal group, the figures were 14% for Dirofilaria repens and 4% for Acanthocheilonema reconditum. The overall percentage of dogs with microfilaremia in the episodic weakness group was 44 and that of the clinically normal group 16, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01). The prevalence of microfilaremia due to the nonpathogenic filarial species (Dirofilaria repens, Acanthocheilonema reconditum) was 34% and 16% for the episodic weakness group and the clinically normal dogs, respectively, with no significant difference.
对50只患有发作性虚弱的犬和50只临床正常的犬（均为猎犬品种）采集血样，采用改良Knott氏法检测微丝蚴。在发作性虚弱组的犬中，犬恶丝虫的微丝蚴血症患病率为10%，匐行恶丝虫为30%，隐蔽棘唇线虫为8%。在临床正常组中，匐行恶丝虫的患病率为14%，隐蔽棘唇线虫为4%。发作性虚弱组有微丝蚴血症的犬的总体百分比为44%，临床正常组为16%，差异有统计学意义（P<0.01）。非致病性丝虫种类（匐行恶丝虫、隐蔽棘唇线虫）导致的微丝蚴血症患病率，发作性虚弱组犬为34%，临床正常犬为16%，无显著差异。
