Microfilariae, the infective larvae stage of the heartworm, are visible under the microscope in a sample of Lillian’s blood. Microfilariae are transmitted from infected dog to mosquito upon feeding then from mosquito to uninfected dog. Once microfilariae enter a dog, they move towards the heart and its surrounding blood vessels. Six months later, the fully mature heartworms mate and reproduce more microfilariae, continuing the cycle of infection and transmission. This life-threatening infection

Something’s wriggling in this dog’s blood sample! 🔬🩸 Meet “microfilariae,” the larvae of the dreaded female heartworm. After roughly 6-7 months, these larvae will mature into adult heartworms, grow up to 14 inches long (😳), and reproduce more offspring. Left untreated, this dog could end up with hundreds of them in his body causing long-term damage to the lungs, heart, and arteries and even sudden death. Since it was caught, he will undergo treatment which involves several months of medicatio

Microfilariae are heartworm larvae. Dogs (and cats) become infected for heartworms by a mosquito bite containing microfilariae, that grow into adult heartworms. When an animal tests positive for heartworms with a snap test, a vet will take a blood sample to confirm they see microfilariae under the microscope. That squiggly moving hair like thing is the microfilariae they are looking for to confirm the positive test result. The snap test itself is actually testing for the presence of heartworm an

Heartworm disease is not just a “tropical” problem 🚩 I diagnosed this patient in my hometown of London, Ontario (southwestern Ontario 🇨🇦), meaning exposure can happen much closer to home than most pet parents realize. Heartworm is spread by mosquitoes and, as outlined by the American Heartworm Society, it is now a year round risk that continues to expand into northern regions due to global warming 🔥 In this video you can see live microfilaria in a sample of this patient’s blood.

Peak City Veterinary Hospital on Instagram: "🐾 Ever wonder what heartworms look like under the microscope? 👀 In this video, you’re seeing microfilaria—baby heartworms—swimming in a blood sample from a heartworm-positive dog. These tiny larvae are produced by adult heartworms living in the heart and lungs, and they circulate in the bloodstream, ready to be picked up by mosquitoes and spread to other pets. 🦟 How does treatment work?
