Molecular Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) Isolated from Dirofilaria immitis in Northwest of Iran

Abstract: Background: The purpose of this study was molecular detection and phylogenetic analysis of Wolbachia species of Dirofilaria immitis. Methods: Adult filarial nematodes were collected from the cardiovascular and pulmonary arterial systems of natural­ly infected dogs, which caught in different geographical areas of Meshkin Shahr in Ardabil Province, Iran, during 2017. Dirofilaria immitis genomic DNA were extracted.  Phylogenetic analysis for proofing of D. immitis was car­ried out using cytochrome oxidase I… Show more

“…It has been estimated that 11.5% of dogs in Iran are infected by D. immitis , which is slightly higher than the estimated global prevalence of 10.9% [ 14 ]. However, an infection rate of 62.8% was reported from dogs of Meshkinshahr [ 15 ]. Several human cases of D. repens infection have been reported in Iran; however, data for dogs are scant [ 7 ], and few instances of circulating microfilariae have been documented [ 16 , 17 ].…”
