  • Title: Surgical transplantation of adult Dirofilaria immitis to study heartworm infection and disease in dogs.
    Author: Rawlings CA, McCall JW.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1985 Jan; 46(1):221-4. PubMed ID: 3970428.
    Abstract:
    Heartworm infections were established in dogs by surgical transplantation of adult heartworms into the external jugular vein. The heartworms were obtained from donor dogs that had been infected with large numbers of infective larvae. This heartworm model standardized the infection with a known number of heartworms of a known age and sex. This paper presents the methods for obtaining heartworms from donor dogs, for selection of recipient dogs, and for transplantation of heartworms.
