The earliest that heartworm antigen and microfilariae can be detected is about 5 and 6 months post infection, respectively. Whether screening a population of asymptomatic dogs or seeking verification of a suspected heartworm infection, antigen testing is the most sensitive diagnostic method. Microfilaria testing is complementary and may be done in tandem with antigen testing to determine whether this life cycle stage is also present in dogs that are antigenemic.
