Resumen
[EN]The results point to the need for adequate prophylactic measures through the administration of
macrocyclic lactones in animals living in Madrid. Veterinarians should be aware of the presence of this disease and include heartworm in the differential diagnosis when a pet presents with symptoms compatible with D. immitis.
