Dirofilaria repens detection kits

Dirofilaria repens is a filarial nematode that affects dogs and other carnivores. Infections have been reported from various regions of the world, mainly from Europe, Africa, and Asia. As with other filaria species, mosquitoes transmit infectious microfilariae, which develop into fertile macrofilariae in their definitive host. Clinical symptoms are usually restricted to a subcutaneous nodule containing a single infertile parasite.
