Description
Dirofilariasis refers to a group of diseases characterized by transmissible transmission, slow development, prolonged course and the formation of synanthropic and natural foci. The source of infection of dogs in synanthropic foci are mosquitoes. The generally accepted method of research on dirofilariasis is microscopy of blood with different reagents and dyes. This method is effective only in the circulation step microfilaria in venous blood of animals.
For accurate and differential diagnosis of dirofilariasis, immunochromatographic test systems are used for rapid analysis of infestation. The test is intended for fast, high-quality, one-step detection of the antigen Dirofilaria immitis.
The test should be used in cases of low microfilaremia in venous blood, negative results of blood tests on dirofilariosis the presence of clinical signs of disease in animals and in cases of differential diagnosis indicators specificity for Dirofilaria dhimmis 99,5% and sensitivity - 94.5%.
