MOSQUITO CONTROL
BEST PREVENTION
AGAINST HEARTWORMS
There are a number of
internal parasite that attack
dogs. Roundworms, hook
worms, whipworms and
tapeworms are among the
most common, and I have
written about these in
previous columns.
Heartworm infection, how
ever, is much more dan
gerous because it can result
in death. Once found only in
tropical climates, heart
worms are now reported in
many temperate areas of the
world. In the U.S., heart
worms are most common
along the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, but they have been
reported in other regions as
well.
Mosquitoes are the main
carriers of heartworms,
although other bloodsucking
insects such as fleas, ticks
and flies may also be
involved. The adult heart
worm produces microscopic
larvae that float free in the
circulating blood. The larvae
are inested by mosquitoes
when they suck blood from a
dog with heartworms. Inside
the mosquito, the larvae
grow larger and are injected
into another dog’s blood
stream when the mosquito
bites the dog, and this is how
the disease is transmitted.
Once the larvae enter the
bloodstream of a dog, they
travel to the heart, lungs and
large blood vessels where
in six to seven months they
mature and lay eggs which
hatch into new larvae.

grow up to 10 inches in
length, cause most of the
damage. They interfere with
proper circulation and
closing of the heart valves.
The heart must work much
harder to bypass the worms
that are present in the blood
vessels.
With this handicap, the dog
soon will show signs of
suffering from heartworms.
Easy fatigue, chronic cough,
skineruptions, anemia, and
fainting spells from exercise
or strenuous play are the
most frequent symptoms.
With advances in treat
ment, the veterinary profes
sion has been able to reduce
the mortality rate from
heartworms to 5 percent.
Your veterinarian begins the
diagnosis by microscopically
examining a sample of blood
for the presence of the tiny
larvae. Treatment, in the
form of tablets and injec
tions, is usually given in two
parts the first to kill the
adult worms and the second
to combat the larvae circula
ting in the bloodstream. The
treatment takes several
weeks, during which the dog
must be kept completely
quiet, since the large masses
of dying worms could form a
blockage in one or more
blood vessels.
The best prevention of
heartworms is mosquito
control. Mosquitoes do most
of their damage at night, so
make sure your dog is housed
in a screened area. In areas
where there are many
mosquitoes, particularly in
the South, dogs should be
given low level medication to
prevent the heartworm from
ever getting established in
the circulatory system. Your
veterinarian, has medication
which can be given orally or
mixed with food. It should be
started just before, and
carried through, the mosqui
to season.
