 The filarial worms are of great importance in human medicine in the tropics, causing diseases such as elephantitis and river blindness, but their veterinary interest is limited - with the important exception of ''Dirofilaria'', the canine heartworm, which is a major cause of morbidity and death in warmer, humid regions (including parts of the USA, Australia, southern Europe etc.).

		+
		+	== General Appearance ==
		+	*Non-bursate
		+	*Typically, they are long (up to 12cm or more), but filamentous
		+	*Live in connective tissues
		+	**The most important veterinary species is ''Dirofilaria immitis'' which lives in the right heart and pulmonary arteries
		+
		+	== General Life-Cycle ==
		+	*The females of most species do not produce eggs, but instead they produce motile embryos ('''microfilariae''')
		+	*Female worm → microfilariae → accumulate in blood or tissue fluid
		+
		+	→ taken up by biting arthropod intermediate host
		+
		+	→ L1 → L2 → L3
		+
		+	→ enters wound
		+
		+	→ larvae develop and migrate to predilection site in final host
