This work had as objective to contribute to the diagnosis using histochemical differentiation in twelve sanguine samples of microfilaremics dogs and aid in the recognition of the identified species with that staining, based on the individual acid fosfatase activity and to confirm the use of a commercial kit for this procedure. They were identified Dirofilaria immitis and Dipetalonema reconditum, making possible this technique in the taxonomy of those species. / As microfil?rias quando encontradas devem ser identificadas corretamente, para realiza??o de um diagn?stico preciso, j? que o Dipetalonema ? apatog?nico e a infec??o n?o requer tratamento, enquanto a Dirofilariose, conhecida como Doen?a do Verme do Cora??o, pode levar o c?o ? morte. Este trabalho teve como objetivo contribuir ao diagn?stico pela diferencia??o histoqu?mica em doze amostras sangu?neas de c?es microfilar?micos e auxiliar no reconhecimento das esp?cies identificadas por essa marca??o, baseada na atividade da fosfatase ?cida individual, confirmando a utiliza??o de um kit comercial para este procedimento. Foram identificadas histoquimicamente, Dirofilaria immitis e Dipetalonema reconditum, possibilitando esta t?cnica na taxonomia dessas esp?cies.
