In addition to mosquitoes being animals that suck human blood for food or create annoyance by flying around our ears until we are irritated, many people may not know that “mosquitoes” are also animals that are carriers of serious diseases such as heartworm disease to our dogs. When our beloved dog has heartworm disease, what are the symptoms? And how to prevent or treat it? Let's take a look at some basic information. Heartworm disease is caused by Dirofilaria immitis, a common disease in dogs. It can also be found in cats, but it is rare in humans. This disease is carried by “mosquitoes”. The infection occurs from mosquitoes that feed on the blood of dogs that have the larvae of this virus. Then, the larvae will develop in the mosquito.
