Subconjunctival Infection with Dirofilaria Repens
infection, rarely seen in humans, is a zoonotic illness. Humans get infected through blood -sucking arthropods such as mosquitoes, fleas and ticks. During blood sucking, these ar thropods receive the immature stages of the parasite called microfilaria.
