In Brazil, surgical intervention in the treatment of dogs heavily infected by Dirofilaria nematode is an uncommon procedure. This is a technique where mechanical removal of the parasite is performed using plenty kinds of recovery tweezers. Removing Dirofilaria using recovery devices, such as grasping forceps, is an efficient and safe therapeutic alternative for treating dogs with a high load of this worm.Downloads
