Number of pathogens detected by IFAT, PCR and Knott's test in 331 autochthonous dogs from kennels/shelters in Portugal. Number of positive, negative and questionable test results of a total of 331 dogs from Portugal. Blood samples were examined by means of Knott's test for microfilariae and on H. canis with the help of the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
