Microscopic, serological, and molecular diagnostic methods are used to investigate this parasite in the hosts. Molecular diagnostic methods are outstanding for their sensitivity and specificity. The LAMP method, which has been used in detecting many parasites with its high specificity and sensitivity in recent years, is also advantageous with its simplicity of application. This study aimed to use the\n                      <jats:italic>COI<\/jats:italic>\n                      -LAMP method in the diagnosis of\n                      <jats:italic>D. immitis<\/jats:italic>\n                      in different host species.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      LAMP primers specific for the\n                      <jats:italic>COI<\/jats:italic>\n                      gene of\n                      <jats:italic>D. immitis<\/jats:italic>\n                      were designed, and the method was optimized. Additionally, the sensitivity, specificity, and limit of detection of the LAMP method were determined, and the results were compared with those of the PCR method. Moreover, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the LAMP method in epidemiologic studies, 600 blood samples were collected from dogs (n:300) and cats (n:300) in different parts of T\u00fcrkiye. gDNA obtained from these samples were researched with LAMP and PCR assays, and the results were compered.

The blood samples were examined in terms of\n                      <jats:italic>D. immitis<\/jats:italic>\n                      , and ten samples (1.66%) were found to be positive. In contrast, six samples (1%) were positive by PCR.\n                      <jats:italic>D. immitis<\/jats:italic>\n                      was detected in nine (3%) dogs and one (0.33%) cat by LAMP method, and this parasite was detected in six (2%) dogs by PCR.\n                      <jats:italic>Dirofilaria immitis<\/jats:italic>\n                      was not detected by PCR in cat samples.
