| Heartworm is one of the most serious diseases of dogs and cats and is often fatal if untreated. Mosquito-borne worms live in the canine/feline pulmonary arteries causing damage to the heart and lungs. While avermectin-class drugs are widely used for prevention, the American Heartworm Society estimates that 27 million dogs are untreated in the U.S. Cases have been found in all 50 states and a 2002 veterinarian survey reported 244,000 positive heartworm tests.
