Question
This genus’s repens species can cause subcutaneous nodules in humans, but it can’t replicate like it can in many other mammals. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this genus of parasitic nematodes, whose immitis species can get into the heart or pulmonary artery of dogs and produce millions of offspring over the course of many years.
ANSWER: Dirofilaria [reject “heartworm,” which is not a genus]
[10m] In addition to getting your dogs checked for heartworm, you shouldn't let them eat chocolate, since dogs can experience ar·rhythm·ias, seizures, or death when exposed to relatively low doses of this xan·thine alkaloid, one of the metabolites of caffeine.
ANSWER: theobromine [accept xantheose]
[10e] No one really knows why you shouldn't feed your dog these fruits, but don't, because you might cause unexplained kidney failure. One hypothesis is that dogs may be intolerant to the tannins in these fruits.
ANSWER: grapes [accept raisins or currants or sultanas]
