Prevalence and Molecular Epidemiological Data on Dirofilaria immitis in Dogs from Northeastern States of India by Sonjoy Kumar Borthakur, Dilip Kumar Deka, Saidul Islam, Dilip Kumar Sarma, Prabhat Chandra Sarmah

“…Diagnostic methods applied were microscopy (wet film and Knott’s concentration technique), immunological test (Ag ELISA by SNAP 4Dx ELISA kit), and molecular tools (polymerase chain reaction and sequencing), which evidenced 11.38, 18.03, and 13.93% of positive animals, respectively. No significant differences were observed by area (18.23% versus 17.68%) nor by sex (18.1% versus 17.9%), whereas stray dogs proved more infected than other groups (P<0.05). …”
