🪱Dirofilaria immitis
Dirofilaria immitis es el nombre de un nemátodo parásito del perro, que es su hospedador definitivo, pero puede infestar gatos, ganado, zorros, coyotes, hurones, leones marinos y, en muy raras ocasiones, al ser humano. La etapa reproductiva del ciclo de vida del parásito adulto reside principalmente en las arterias pulmonares y el ventrículo derecho del corazón animal, en el que pueden vivir durante muchos años, causando la dirofilariasis canina. La infección del corazón puede resultar en trastornos graves para el hospedador.
