INTRODUCTION: Canine filarioid infections are widespread throughout the world and steadily increasing despite prophylaxis. New cases in dogs and in humans have occurred in many countries and regions that were previously considered to be free or for which epidemiological data were not available. The aim of this work is to report the presence of different species of filarioid nematodes in dogs in an area of north-west Italy (Liguria), traditionally considered free from the disease and where prophylaxis is not implemented. METHODS: Between 2009 and 2012 blood samples were collected from 365 dogs living in rural areas of Liguria (in the provinces of Savona and Imperia) and submitted to Knott’s test, histochemical staining, PCR targeting part o...
