Image for Disease factsheets

BSAVA’s Scientific Committee provides BSAVA and its members with information and advice on a range of scientific issues which are important to companion animals. The committee has developed factsheets (Scientific Information Documents) on several topics in small animal disease, to provide evidence-based information for the veterinary profession on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and public health implications of these diseases, and signpost to further resources. If you have any suggestions for topics which BSAVA could develop disease factsheets on, please email [email protected].

    • Dirofilaria immitis
      BSAVA Scientific Information Documents

      Although (commonly known as heartworm) is not endemic in the UK, the number of infections diagnosed in dogs in the UK is increasing, with most cases found in dogs that have travelled to or been imported from regions where the disease is endemic. Currently, average temperature conditions necessary for transmission of dirofilariasis are rarely met in the UK. However, with increasing temperatures and the rise in imported dogs, there’s potentially an increasing risk of becoming endemic in the UK. This document provides key information on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heartworm.
