Thermotaxis in third and fourth-stage Dirofilaria immitis larvae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 November 2009
Abstract
Third-stage and fourth-stage Dirofilaria immitis larvae exhibited positive thermotaxis when placed in a thermal gradient. Negative thermotaxis was not observed. Positive thermotaxis may be important for the successful transmission and for directing third and fourth-stage larval migration toward predilection sites in the Host.
