Post mortem examination of 200 feral cats for adult D. immitis and 101 of these cats for heartworm antigens by an ELISA, showed only 2 cats had adult heartworms, and the blood sample of another cat contained a single microfilaria. The blood of a further 3 cats contained small amounts of D. immitis antigen. Although D. immitis occurs in cats in Sydney, the prevalence is not high enough to warrant prophylactic treatment.
