  • Title: The effect of infusions of microfilariae (L1 larvae) of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs.
    Author: Carlisle CH, Atwell RB, Sutton RH.
    Journal: Int J Parasitol; 1989 Nov; 19(7):729-32. PubMed ID: 2592140.
    Abstract:
    Four pups were given three intravenous infusions of microfilariae over a 7-month period to determine if radiographic changes could be detected in the lungs while sensitivity to first stage microfilariae was being induced. Mild pathological changes occurred but these could not be detected on any of the radiographs. Radiographic changes described by others and 'Eosinophilic lungs' did not result from the immune response to the first stage larvae.
