    Snippet: Blood and urine samples were taken from 70 clinically healthy beagles kept in two closed colonies with similar housing and feeding conditions. Extensive laboratory work up was used to reveal any underlying disease and to distinguish D. repens infection from occult heartworm disease (incl. modified Knott-test, two different Ag-ELISA tests and Dirofilaria species specific real time PCR).

    Document: Blood and urine samples were taken from 70 clinically healthy beagles kept in two closed colonies with similar housing and feeding conditions. Extensive laboratory work up was used to reveal any underlying disease and to distinguish D. repens infection from occult heartworm disease (incl. modified Knott-test, two different Ag-ELISA tests and Dirofilaria species specific real time PCR). Urine was obtained by cystocentesis and albumin was measured with a formerly validated commercial human immunoturbidimetric method. Exclusion criteria were severe laboratory alterations, a positive D. immitis test or positive urine culture. Some older, otherwise eligible, D. repens infected dogs also had to be excluded as there were no older animals without infection to age match the two groups.
