Abstract

Screening of 100 dog-blood samples collected from Sharkyia and Giza Governorates were examined for canine filariae by direct wet and modified knotts techniques. Dipetalonema reconditum was found in 67 dogs (8.9%) in Sharkyia and Dipetalonema gracile was found only in one of 33 dogs in Giza (3.03%).
