Climate Change and Socioeconomic Vulnerability: The Carpathian Basin as a Potential Hotspot in the Dissemination of Dirofilaria repens in Europe [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Dirofilaria repens is a zoonotic parasite expanding across Europe due to climate change. We hypothesised that in this process, the Carpathian Basin has a facilitating effect. Using 426 georeferenced European cases, the probability of infection occurrence was determined in relation to climatic factors, surface water availability, regional social ...

Detection of <i>Dirofilaria repens</i> and <i>Mansonella llewellyni</i> in the United States by <i>Wolbachia</i> Surveillance. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
In mammals, detection of Wolbachia bacteria can be used to diagnose filarial infection, while antibiotic treatment to eliminate Wolbachia can assist in eliminating filarial infections. Because Wolbachia are necessary for survival of several filarioids and closely related to Anaplasma and Ehrlichia, we analyzed Wolbachia DNA amplification by Anaplasma ...

New World Ocular Dirofilariasis Caused by Dirofilaria repens Infection, United States [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We describe an infection caused by Dirofilaria repens nematodes in California, USA. A firm nodule developed after an insect bite on a patient’s eyelid. Excision with morphologic and molecular analysis confirmed D. repens infection.

The Expansion of Dirofilaria repens in the Irtysh Basin of Western Siberia Is Associated with Nine Species of Aedes Mosquitoes [PDF]

Insects
The northward expansion of Dirofilaria spp. is a current medical and veterinary concern. However, it is unclear how far north the parasite has spread in Western Siberia and what species of mosquito can carry and transmit it.
