Description Dirofilaria immitis, D. repens, D. tenuis and D. ursi. The genus Dirofilaria includes vector-borne filarial nematodes, which are usually associated with carnivore hosts. Some Dirofilaria spp. are zoonotic; the most commonly seen species in human patients are D. repens, D. tenuis, and D. immitis (the dog heartworm). Rare human infections with other species such as D. striata and D. ursi-like species (D. ursi or D. subdermata) have been reported.
