Angiogenesis as a Survival Mechanism in Heartworm Disease: The Role of Fructose-Bisphosphate Aldolase and Actin from <i>Dirofilaria immitis</i> in an In Vitro Endothelial Model

Angiogenesis as a Survival Mechanism in Heartworm Disease: The Role of Fructose-Bisphosphate Aldolase and Actin from <i>Dirofilaria immitis</i> in an In Vitro Endothelial Model

Heartworm disease, caused by <i>Dirofilaria immitis,</i> is a vector-borne zoonotic disease, (mainly affecting canids and felids) causing chronic vascular and pulmonary pathology in its early stages, which worsens with parasite load and/or death of adult worms in the pulmonary artery or...
