ABSTRACT

N Hovhannes and K Artashes: Incidence of canine dirofilariasis in Yerevan. Onl J Vet Res., 4 (11): 180-182, 2000. Dirofilariasis in Armenia was last reported in 1948 and was thought to have disappeared due to the erradication of mosquitoes. Three dogs diagnosed with chronic canine distemper and 2 dogs diagnosed with Dipilidiosis had Dirofilariasis. Because the dogs were not imported, dirofilariasis may have been present in Yerevan but was never diagnosed. Because mosquitoes are not present in Yerevan, there was a need to determine if fleas were the main vectors.

KEYWORDS: Dirofilariasis, canine, vectors
