    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1982 Nov; 33(3):386-7. PubMed ID: 6897584.
    Abstract:
    Ivermectin prevented maturation of Dirofilaria immitis when given per os to ferrets at a dosage of 0 X 1 mg ivermectin per kg bodyweight two days after inoculation with third stage heartworm larvae. Similar results were found in dogs treated one day after infection at a dosage of 0 X 05 mg ivermectin per kg. No heartworm were found in the hearts and lungs of five treated dogs compared to an average of 11 worms per dog in five control animals.
