For this reason, we carried out morphological studies using both light and scanning electron microscopy for this filaroid species. Morphometric and morphological data were compatible with previous descriptions of D. immitis, but several anatomical structures are described by scanning electron microscopy for the first time, such as details of the cuticular striations, positioning of amphids, visualization of anal and vulvar opening, descriptions of deirids, lateral line, the pair of phasmids in the posterior end in females, and visualization of a small pair of latero-terminal papillae in the posterior end in males. Dirofilaria immitis is the most common filaroid found parasitizing dogs, cats, and other carnivores throughout the world. It is transmitted by various species of mosquitoes (Insecta: Diptera: Culicidae) (McCall et al., 2008). This parasite is the causative agent for heartworm disease and occurs primarily in the right ventricle and adjacent pulmonary artery. Using light microscopy, several authors (López-Neyra, 1947; Yamaguti, 1962; Yorke and Maplestone, 1962) have described D. immitis. However, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has become an important tool that can add new taxonomic characters to previous species descriptions made by light microscopy (Chagas-Moutinho et al., 2007; Torres et al., 2007), as well as contributing to descriptions of new species (Santos et al., 2008; Giese et al., 2009). Few reports have described D. immitis using this technique, although Wong and Brummer (1978) conducted a comparative study of filarial longitudinal ridges, and included D. immitis, while Rodrigues-Silva et al. (1999) described the rugosae area and the posterior end of male D. immitis. The present report is a redescription of D. immitis by light microscopy, and SEM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Filaroids were collected from the right ventricle and pulmonary artery of domestic pet dogs in the cities of Salvaterra (00u459120S, 48u319000W) and São Sebastião da Boa Vista (01u439050S, 49u319450W), Marajo Island, Para State, Brazil. This area is endemic to canine dirofilariasis according to Furtado et al. (2009). Routinely, domestic dogs with visceral leishmaniasis are killed by public health agencies (SESPA and SESMA) in these cities. These agencies authorized 30 necropsies of dogs (20 in Salvaterra and 10 in São Sebastião da Boa Vista) so that we could undertake the present investigation. The collected worms were washed immediately in phosphate buffered saline, ph 7.4, and fixed in hot AFA (2% acetic acid, 3% formaldehyde, and 95% ethanol 70 degrees GL) at 60 C. For light microscopy, 2-cm sections of the anterior and posterior ends of 18 females and 7 male D. immitis were observed using a light microscope, equipped with a camera lucida, after dehydration in ethanol series (70 100%), then cleared in Aman s lactophenol for 72 hr. Measurements are given in millimeters, followed by ranges in parentheses. A male and female filaroid from each municipality were deposited in the Helminthological Collection of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CHIOC no A/B and CHIOC no A/B). For SEM, 2-cm sections of the anterior and posterior ends of 10 males and females were processed according the methods of Mafra and Lanfredi (1998) and observed using a JEOL JSM 6390 LV scanning microscope.

Deposition of specimens: Four voucher specimens in Helminthological Collection of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CHIOC no A/B and CHIOC no A/B). Remarks Several new anatomical variations have been described for D. immitis. For example, Murata et al. (2003) and Sano et al. (2005) examined D. immitis from leopards and penguins in a Japanese zoo. They reported the presence of delicate longitudinal cuticular ridges along the entire length of the body using ordinary light microscopy. Nonetheless, both reports showed that these filarids also presented molecular characteristics similar to the D. immitis from canids. These data disagree with those of Wong and

6 504 THE JOURNAL OF PARASITOLOGY, VOL. 96, NO. 3, JUNE 2010 Brummer (1978), who described D. immitis without longitudinal cuticular ridges using SEM. Because of these discrepancies, we carried out a detailed morphological study in D. immitis using light microscopy and SEM. Several characteristics have been previously described for the cephalic end of D. immitis (Wong and Brummer, 1978). These include the circular and terminal oral opening without lips, the number and distribution of cephalic papillae and amphids, and transverse cuticular striations. In the present work, pre-cloacal papillae were found in varying numbers (1 6), and may be both unpaired and paired. A pair of ad-cloacal papillae, i.e., the first and second pair of post-cloacal papillae, were observed in all specimens by light microscopy and SEM. The third and fourth pair of post-cloacal papillae were best observed by light microscopy. In contrast, terminal post-cloacal papillae were best seen by SEM. The pre-cloacal papillae distribution is similar to the descriptions of Wong and Brummer (1978) and Rodrigues-Silva et al. (1999), although López-Neyra (1947) described a different distribution of post-cloacal papillae for D. immitis. Based on this variability, Rodrigues-Silva et al. (1999) concluded that the cloacal papillae distribution cannot be considered as a reliable taxonomic character for D. immitis. The general characteristic of spiraled posterior end in males, including the rugosae area (arrangement of longitudinal and rounded cuticular striations), are similar to Wong and Brummer (1978) descriptions. Our observations, however, differ from those of Sano et al. (2005) in positioning of male phasmids. Using light microscopy, the latter authors observed phasmids situated near the tail tip. However, with light microscopy and SEM, we found these structures to be positioned ventrally. These differences could be artifactual or erroneous interpretations of penguin filarid morphology observed by light microscopy. Data presented in the present study show that D. immitis found in the thoracic organs (pulmonary arteries and right ventricle) of domestic dogs have morphological characteristics compatible with the descriptions and measures reported previously by others authors (López-Neyra, 1947; Yamaguti, 1962; Yorke and Maplestone, 1962; Anderson and Bain, 1976). However, we have also added several new features for D. immitis using SEM, thereby providing a much more robust characterization of the species.
