Know---Heartworm Disease

• What is heartworm disease?
• Heartworm disease is a serious infectious disease
  which often happen in pet cats and dogs. It will
  lead to lung disease, organ damage, heart disease
  and even death. The main route of transmission is
  bite of mosquito, which means that this disease
  is probably transmitted to human beings with weak
  immunity such as children, the elderly and
  pregnant women. Because the main host of
  heartworm disease is dog and the intermediate
  host is mosquito, worm has access to human
  through the bite of mosquito when they live with
  an infected dog. The reason why the worm called
  heartworm is that it always live in heart mostly
  in right heart and it will lead to heart failure.

What is the transmission process of heartworm
disease? Mature worms will produce microfilariae
in the infected dogs bloodstream. How does the
microfilariae become larvae? It become larvae
through the bite of mosquito. The microfilariae
will become infective larvae after a few days
since its entering mosquito. And then infective
larvae will enter another dog through the bite
of the infective mosquito. After about 6 months,
larvae will grow mature and release
microfilariae in the newly infected dog and it
will be transmitted to another dog through the
bite of mosquito. There is one thing animal
lovers should notice that heartworm disease will
not be transmitted without the bite of
mosquito. The Symptoms Of Heartworm Disease and

dog, which means that there are a little larvae
in the dog. Middle stage Occasional cough and
tiredness after some activities will happen.

difficulty and palpitation will appear to the
dog. These signals means that larvae grows
rapidly. Later stage blood will flow back to
dogs heart because a large number of worms
block the flowing and the most effective way to
removing the worms is surgery. However, surgery
is very dangerous for the dog.
