Heartworms are transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes. When a mosquito feeds on an infected animal, it picks up heartworm larvae, which develop inside the mosquito. The larvae are then passed to another animal when the mosquito bites again. Physical contact, water dispersal, and air dispersal are not methods of heartworm transmission.
