Canine malarial worms are filarial worms that live in the right ventricle and pulmonary artery of dogs, also known as heartworms. Males are approximately 16 cm long and females are approximately 28 cm long and are white thread-like. Adult females produce embryonic microfilariae after mating with males in the ventricle. The canine larvae flow with the blood to the subcutaneous, when the mosquito or flea bite to suck blood into the insect body to develop, and finally reach the salivary glands and mouthparts. When mosquitoes and fleas bite other dogs, the microfilariae escape and burrow into the human subcutaneous, intermuscular and fatty tissues to develop and grow, and then migrate through the veins into the right ventricle and grow to maturity. As the adult worms live in the heart, they cause heart damage and gradually affect the health of dogs, cats and humans. Infection is followed by symptoms such as exercise intolerance, coughing and shortness of breath. In later stages, heart and lung failure, anemia, pulmonary effusion, ascites, jaundice, and death from liver and kidney failure occur.
