- W4308951981 abstract "Abstract Background Dirofilaria immitis , the causative agent of heartworm disease has long been established to affect both wild and domestic canids, felids, and mustelids. Recent literature demonstrates that additional families in the order Carnivora are also susceptible. The objectives of this study were to 1) better understand current practices surrounding heartworm prevention and diagnostics in zoological facilities located in the state of Texas, USA and 2) assess the seroprevalence of D. immitis infection among terrestrial carnivores kept in these facilities. Methods A questionnaire was completed by veterinarians or veterinary technicians representing 10 zoological facilities across Texas. This questionnaire was designed at the taxonomic family level, encompassing the 12 terrestrial carnivore families: Ailuridae, Canidae, Eupleridae, Felidae, Herpestidae, Hyaenidae, Mephitidae, Mustelidae, Prionodontidae, Procyonidae, Ursidae, and Viverridae. The second objective was achieved with the use of archival serum samples made available by six zoo facilities. Results Risk perception varied across facilities for every family, including among species belonging to Canidae. All facilities used monthly heartworm prevention in canids and felids, with more variation existing in the other families. The use of diagnostic testing and type and route of administration of preventive varied by facility, with oral ivermectin the most commonly used preventive. A total of 217 archival serum samples, belonging to 211 individual animals encompassing 11 families and 39 species, were tested with a commercial heartworm antigen ELISA test, pre- and post-immune-complex dissociation. A subset of samples was also assessed for presence of feline anti-heartworm antibodies using a commercial ELISA test. Two animals had antigen detected (0.95%), both Asian small-clawed otters from the same facility. Conclusions This study demonstrates that while the zoo veterinary community is aware of the risk and health impact of heartworm disease in canids and felids, there is still a great deal of uncertainty regarding the risks and ideal strategies for prevention in other carnivore families. The low prevalence found in zoo carnivores in Texas may serve as a baseline for future prevalence studies across the southern United States amid the emerging concern of macrocyclic lactone resistance." @default.
