Can rabbits get heartworms?
The regular host of canine heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) is the domestic dog, and its wild cousins the wolf, coyote, and fox. In these species the young heartworm is injected into the body by a mosquito, then travels to the heart where it grows into an adult worm. Rabbits have been reported as an aberrant host for canine heartworm, that is, it would be abnormal or atypical to have the parasite, and if they do, the worm would not behave as it would in its regular host. An example of this would be the worm degenerating and being encapsulated into a nodule in the rabbits lung. However, other species can get canine heartworm, such as cats, raccoons, deer, bears, ferrets, otters, seals and sea lions, lions, and tigers. Humans are also an aberrant host.
