Abstract
Studies with a HI test for the detection of circulating antibody to the dog heartworm (D. immitis) are described. Natural as well as experimentally infected animals demonstrated the capability of detecting infestations before circulating microfilaria would be found and as early as 23 days after experimental infection with larvae.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
